How long does it take you to clean a deer?

[TylerDale]

15-20 minutes if I’m not caping a buck out. Watching a few videos of the speed cleaners on YT helps give a few pointers and shortcuts. A high neck shot doe that’s still warm is my favorite. An electric harbor freight winch is a huge advantage too

Every post the time gets shorter........hmmmm

To be fair the first couple of posts are from guys who take a long time. Shouldn’t be a surprise the times got faster than that.

It's taking a little longer each year, but can still have one boned out and on ice in a little over an hour.

I only partially gut, just enough to pull the backstraps out. And talking about the hunt is the best part, especially with family.

Don't you mean tenderloins?

I hunt alone nowadays..... I leave my need for hurry back home in the metromess. For me the whole process is very therapeutic. I like to take my time.

Exactly. I wouldn't call that partially gutting either. Lol.

Depends on the circumstances, but typically around 20 minutes. If there are others around, and we get to talking a d cutting up, add another 15-20 minutes to it.

All damm day. What do I win?

I've cleaned a decent number of deer but still slow. At least an hour if I had to guess.

I have been known to have to lower them a bit in order to reach the hind legs.

at least you’re a good sport about it!

Gut, skin, quarter only using a knife--maybe an hour. I enjoy it and don't usually rush.

Processing down the rest at home--2-3 hours. I don't waste any meat.

I can prob still do a doe in 25-30 minutes but I don’t get in a hurry any more, have a beer and BS with whoever’s watching. I usually do all the deer at camp.
I keep every once of meat... ribs and all.

Takes me close to an hour now I bet. I use havalon blades and a sawzaw.

That’s the easy part, the work starts after the 2 week aging process!

Depends....I can’t talk and clean at the same time, and I hardly ever stop talking.

This is my problem... and drink breaks followed by more talking....

20 minutes for us.

Two guys, sharp knives, reciprocating saw, electric winch, and hanging cooler. Gutting the deer takes 3 minutes, then we hang the deer in the cooler until the day before we leave. Skinning and quartering takes about 15 minutes. There's usually several deer to clean, but you get the hang of it and we have picked up a few short cuts over time.

Let the youngins do it. Took me about 30 minutes of me sitting there for my 15 year old to get this one done.
