One of the best parts about hunting is the healthy protein you can take home…but first, you have to get it off the animal. You’ve got a deer field-dressed, hung up by the legs and skinned. Now you’re staring at a carcass ready to be turned into meat. Where do you start? It’s easier than you think, so don’t miss our girl’s guide to butchering.
For everyday home defense, it’s tough to beat a traditional semi-automatic or pump-action shotgun with a full-length buttstock and tubular magazine.
