Do-it-yourself processing?

[Buzz]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good do-it-yourself book/video on deer processing? I've always "hacked out" a few roasts, cut up the tenderloin into butterfly steaks and such, but thought maybe I could do a better job with a good instructional manual. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

This guy is good.

He sure made it look easy too. He was boning out each side turning the deer only once. Had some pretty sharp knives too as he is real careful in keeping the edges off the table.

I probably would have bought a video but already have one by Brad Lockwood (Deer Processing 101) who goes at it in a more traditional manner.
