so i get's back from christmas shopping - salmon happily smoking away in the smoker. To be informed that friend has a roe deer he's brought back from scotland - been gutted and decapitated, and would we like it.
The catch: we have to skin and joint it ourselves.
never done this before.
We can hang it over the balcony and we've got rope :-)
So, what kit do I need, what's the easiest way to skin it and basically any advice from you guys who have done this plenty times.
Do I actually need this christmas eve when i haven't stuffed or dehydrated the snackstix, made me pigs in blankets, cooked the ham for boxing day, fitted the new security light which i said I'd do before christmas, wrapped any presents etc etc - no.
But it's a whole deer for £40 and in england, where venison is concerned: beggars can't be choosers :-)
Unfortunately it's unseasonably warm or I'd just hang it in the annex till after christmas - seems weird going out there at the moment with no dead things hanging off the window handles :-)
So, anyway enough moaning, what's going to be the best way to go about this ?
