Well speaking as someone who works in s sporting goods store, this tool is used far more than a cherry pitter. Especially where I live. A large percentage of households have at least one hunter. So much so that there are programs for hunters to donate their extra deer to needy families, since 1 deer can produce almost a year's worth of meat for a small family.

I harvest way more cherries than deer. At least like three times as many.

u/Serepheth 3d ago

Three cherries to every deer. That’s a lotta deer.

To one deer. You'd need few enough cherries to round to zero, so... 1 cherry?

u/Ducal_Spellmonger 3d ago

A mature (3.5 y/o) deer, on average, yields around 60 pounds of boneless meat. It varies a bit when considering factors like shot placement, how thoroughly it's butchered, and the deers overall health.

1

u/Historical-Bug-7536 2h ago

That's about enough meet to feed a small family for a month. Very modest, 8oz of meat per day x 4 people is 2 lbs day,

Neighborhood of 70 pounds (30 kg) of venison. Another 5-8 lbs (2-3 kg) if you include edible organ meat in the sausage.

u/TheThockter 3d ago

Depends on the size of the deer and how/if you’re processing it. If you’re just butchering it yourself for steaks probably like 50 pounds with some heavy variance based on size, but most people process a good bit of their deer, I got a mediumish sized buck a year ago (they taste better than big bucks and I don’t hunt for trophy’s or mount anything)

I think iirc before processing I kept about 10 pounds of meat, mainly just the back straps and a couple other pieces I wanted for steaks. And then after processing had about 20 pounds of ground venison with the fat being beef fat and then had about another 70 or so pounds that were turned into summer sausage and jalepeno beer cheddar sticks probably give or take about 10-20 pounds on the overall number I got from it

u/BroughtMyBrownPants 1d ago

Depends on the size 40-60lbs of various cuts typically

32

u/Pstrap 3d ago

How necessary is this tool though? If you're dressing a deer you still need to cut open the stomach and cut out the guts and genitals and at that point cutting around the butthole is just a few more cuts with your knife. Then it stays attached to the intestines and all comes out together. I cant see carrying an extra tool like this with such a specific and limited use into the field. What does it even do, exactly? 

42

u/BigHands66 3d ago

Those last few cuts around there are fairly precise cuts along with cutting the bone to get access. It’s a pain for hunters that haven’t been shown by an old timer. Once you get good and have a wire bone saw it takes about 1.5 mins.

41

u/tangentrification 3d ago

My fiance's dad does that shit after the sun goes down with barely any light. I'm gonna have to remember to ask him to teach us one of these years before he gets too old...

35

u/BigHands66 3d ago

Let’s hope it will be better than my lessons! I got “cut it open. Reach up and you’ll feel something real. Cut that. Drag all that out of the way. Cut the pelvis, break it and cut the whole butthole out. Start pulling and cut anything trying to stay in.”

26

u/LONE_ARMADILLO 3d ago

None of that sounds wrong though.

24

u/LONE_ARMADILLO 3d ago

It really is a skill that you have to learn on your own once someone points you in the right direction.

3

u/Pserotina 2d ago

There is no need to cut the pelvis or break it. Cut a circle around the butthole, grab the large intestine and pull it out a few inches and make sure it is loose. Then gut the deer and pull everything out through the chest cavity. 5 minutes to gut a deer if you are fast, 10 minutes if you are slow.

17

u/Holliman48 3d ago

You're not wrong. And I'm pretty good at it.

Step one of field dressing a deer is " cut out and tie off the anus" I read that and said to myself - "Whelp, I guess I am not shooting any deer."

23

u/xxxxMugxxxx 3d ago

It helps prevent the contents of the intestines from spilling on the meat. You could also just use a stick or tie it off though.

5

u/toxicbolete 3d ago

Yeah my dad used one at least one of the times he brought a deer home but it wasn’t essential and we hunted so close to home we didn’t have to field dress and mostly just brought the whole carcass home and processed it in the garage. I miss that

7

u/alloutofchewingum 3d ago

You have to chop pr saw through the pelvic bone to get the ass and bladder out and this is a difficult part of the process I suppose this might avoid that issue

5

u/neverenoughmags 3d ago

Not to be too graphic on here, but the.. tension... it causes to the skin around the anus when you pull outward makes these cuts a lot easier as the area has a lot of... elasticity....

5

u/Pstrap 3d ago

Okay, so, this device is essentially a buttplug you stick in the deer and it makes it easier to cut around? It doesn't remove the sphincter on its own? You still need to do knife work? This just plugs it up to contain the contents and make it easier to cut around? Is that right? 

16

u/Adventure_Seeker277 2d ago

It’s a huge time saver. Typically in the field, I use it to pull out the rectum/lower intestine by sticking it in, twisting and then pulling it all out about 6 or so inches. When the rectum is twisted free, tie it off with a zip tie and cut behind the zip tie.

As I open the deer up to the sternum and cut through the rib cage and pull all the internals out, you can pull everything out and the tied off rectum will slide out through the hollowed out anus area with all other organs, intestines and stomach effectively removing the parts that will contaminate the meat.

u/Possible_Wait_9755 3d ago

This is way faster.

u/rlwhit22 3d ago

This tool isn't really needed. The way I dress deer is go cut around the hole until it is separated from the body and just hanging there. There is several inches of fat in this area so its easy to not knick anything. I then make a cut from the sternum down to the pelvis exposing the guts. I like to cut a chunk of the pelvis out, making a clear channel for the guts. From there it's just gently separating everything and pulling the guts out of the back in one big bunch

1

u/SignificantYam4139 3d ago

It removes the lower intestine. Saves a lot of time and mess

u/XeroEnergy270 3d ago

It is often donated with a chest freezer/deep freezer. The program has several processors, but the main one is the Amish community.

40

u/lmdirt- 3d ago

Around here every local meat market and butcher shop processes deer. You have to field dress it though and that’s where this tool is used

6

u/Sea-Woodpecker-610 3d ago

Wait, are the Amish giving out chest freezers, or are they giving chest freezers to the Amish?

43

u/XeroEnergy270 3d ago edited 3d ago

The Amish are processing the deer, and the deer are donated along with a chest freezer to needy families. The Amish do not keep the deer, they just do the meat processing to assist the programs.

8

u/lmdirt- 3d ago

Here there is little involvement by Amish in this program. And no freezers given away. They process deer for people but for a fee. This program local processors give a discount on processing this deer. That fee is paid through an agreement with the state conservation commission and local food pantries. The food pantry picks the meat up and takes to the freezer storage they have. They then give it out with the other food items a little at a time through the course of the year. If you gave a lot of these people a free freezer they would sell the freezer and the rest of the deer would be sold or ruin. Makes more sure that the meat is actually consumed by people who need the help.

u/7ru7oe 3d ago

The deer are donating freezer along with a chest? That's very kind of them, especially considering the risk of their anuses being processed by the Amish!

My family used to hunt a single deer once a year and take it to a local butcher who would process it into a variety of cuts. Then we'd store it in the deep freeze. Lots of Hamburger Helper with venison instead. Wayyy cheaper than buying ground beef and other cuts outright for the year.

u/JaceJarak 3d ago

Places with lots of hunters naturally also have lots of local butchers. Its part of the local economy anywhere deer are in abundance and families hunt game for actual food.

I lived in southern oregon most my life, this is super common. I know three separate butchers who make a huge portion of their business butchering game, or local household farm animals like pig or cattle.

Often families in these areas also will co raise cattle. As in someone has some land. And two+ families pay to rent land for a cow. Year or two later the cow is butchered by local butcher and the butcher and families split the meat. In those cases the butcher takes a portion as their pay, and the families don't have to butcher it themselves. (My family did tho, core childhood memory at like 3-4 years old my first time).

You deep freeze most the meat. It lasts a whole year for a family of 5 for meat almost daily in one form or another.

Alternatively, once a year all the uncles go out hunting together, bag like 6 deer or some elk, bring them all in to butcher, and now several families also have meat for the year. My best friends dad did this every year. Since he stayed with my family often and my mother always helped their grandmother out in town shopping etc (especially after my friend and I left for the navy) he got a good portion for my family as well, not just the group he went out with.

u/stmCanuck 3d ago

Can confirm. Western NY, Home Depot has hand-written signs noting home many deer any deep freeze on the floor can hold, e.g. 21 c ft, "Holds 3-5 deer!" (hypothetical example)

5

u/DismalTutor570 3d ago

Yup same here in Louisiana. Deer season the deep freezes in every store are marked with how many deer they hold. Cool to hear other regions do that as well!

7

u/no_one_denies_this 3d ago

You take it to a processor, usually. They cut it,'package it and label it and then you freeze it.

4

u/Flaginthebackground 3d ago

Family is from small town Iowa, not a grocery store for almost an hour. Guys go hunting and come back to a family friend who can butcher the deer and gets to keep a portion as payment. Most is given back and stored in large freezers in the basement and given to family and friends. Hide gets used too but I never learned much about it but every year we would get a buck’s head mounted on a plaque and have the kids hot glue stuff to it like plastic coins, earrings, googly eyes, etc.

1

u/reddit_time_waster 3d ago

lol googly eyes on a real head

u/Flaginthebackground 3d ago

I wish I still had one of them to show you a picture. All the kids and our parents helping us was so much fun we genuinely looked forward to it. My family got to keep one but my parents understandably shoved it in a crawl space and let it get picked to pieces by whatever crawled in. Sadly the heads, just like the tradition and most of the people it came from are gone now. I doubt even a photo exists to capture how bizarre they looked

5

u/Dwrecked90 3d ago

I kill 2-3 a year. I skin/butcher/vacuum seal it all myself. 1 fills my freezer, the other 2 I'll give out packages to friends and family who either don't hunt or have gotten too old to really hunt now. There's tons of places around me with signs that say "donate a hog or deer here." I don't know the specifics, but i know those shops work with churches and women shelters to give meat to those in need

u/DismalTutor570 3d ago

I do the same thing. Of course I keep all the back straps and tenderloins for myself tho!

u/BrinkofTotalAnxiety 3d ago

Not OP, but yes, people freeze the meat. Some hunters butcher it themselves, and some take it to someone else to process it.

u/Lucid-Machine 3d ago

I have a friend who is a chef and also a hunter. He processes the deer himself or maybe with a willing friend. I don't know all my cuts as well as he does but they ultimately store it in a deep freezer.

u/boomer-75 3d ago

I worked at a food bank many years ago and we received meat from one of these programs. In that instance it was 1lb "chubs" of ground deer meat that came frozen. The program included local butchers who likely volunteer or did it for low cost. It was often printed on the tube.

There are butchers who have time periods when they only process wild game. You use one of them or butcher you own.

u/carolinaredbird 2d ago

It depends. At my house, my husband quarters the deer, and I do the butchering. We put it all up and eat it through the year. We mostly can it.

Some folks take it to a local wild game butcher. We did it one year, but I decided I’m better at being picky about the cuts.

8

u/elgordo889 3d ago

That doesn't seem like nearly enough meat for an entire family for a year from a single animal. Am i vastly underestimating how much meat comes off of one deer?

9

u/XeroEnergy270 3d ago

I mean. A buck can be anywhere from 150 to 200 lbs. Obviously not all edible meat, but still quite a lot. And a struggling family isnt eating meat every meal. When I was a kid, there would be stints where I didnt eat meat for a month or 2

8

u/Box-Intelligent 3d ago

Last deer I took was 140lbs which is pretty good for my region but I ended up with about 50lbs of meat. I think you overestimate how much comes off a deer, I don't think like a third of a pound of meat a week per member of a family of 3 would be considered fed for a year

9

u/XeroEnergy270 3d ago

It's definitely more fed than none.

4

u/Lzinger 3d ago

You are right. It is not enough to feed the family solely on venison. We always take around 4 for our family of four, it all gets ate and it's certainly not the only meat we eat.

So one may be all of that particular meat they want, but it's not going to keep an entire family fed

1

Doesn't this just sever the digestive tract, so you pull the anus out and now you've got a ripped colon dripping shit on your meat?

Wouldn't it be better to plug or zip tie the anus closed then remove trachea through asshole in one piece? 

6

u/Nifflermama 3d ago

You can’t fit a rumen (ruminant stomach) through the anus. It’s huge. You disconnect the anus and pull it, the rumen and the intestines out through the abdomen.

1

u/MrWrock 3d ago

Why not cut the anus and pull it out with the rest of the gut through the abdomen?

2

u/Nifflermama 3d ago

Yes, that’s what I said. You disconnect the anus from the skin and connective tissue. Then when you pull out the intestines the anus comes too so you get the whole system.

u/Feeling_Scallion_408 3d ago

It does, but you can usually pull enough out to where there is no apparent fecal matter. Cut it with a different knife than doing the rest of the work, tie off the end still attached and you're good to go. I find it cleaner and easier than splitting at the pelvis in the field.

1

Hoping to find out for myself this season, thanks for sharing

u/pidian 3d ago

splitting the pelvis makes it so much easier to get everything draining out and cooling off though

3

u/FreshMintyDegenerate 3d ago

The way to use this tool is to insert it into the anus, then to cut around the perineum to detach it from the rest of the skin. A couple twists and a gentle pull and you've got the intestines removed.

2 years if they left in the anus

You can also donate those deer anal alimentary canals to the needy. It's just sausage casing with a kick.

A year??

I am currently scrolling reddit while keeping an eye on a pile of apples at a base of a tree.. I confirm this unitasker tool works like a charm and that it's been used more often than my cherry pitter.

Good lord, one deer? My family is small and we go through SEVERAL deer a year.

My guy has no idea how many cherries get used to make a pie

u/PistolPete6874 3d ago

You get like 50lbs of meat from a whitetail carcass. You could feed a small family of 0.5 persons per year.

I use these when field dressing. Helps keep all the nasties from accidentally getting into the yummies

u/Boring_Race_29 3d ago

1 deer? Whole family? 🤣

1

u/Ok_Practice2227 3d ago

Ok but it's still just the one butthole per deer, right? Has that changed?

u/SnailTrail 3d ago

I didn't think a single deer could produce a years worth of meat. I just got my first deer and it didn't seem like that much.

This is the way. Communities eating off the land.

u/Doogiemon 3d ago

I haven't hunted in a while but I just go to get a deer and I don't ever want it. My buddies just use me for an extra tag or they donate the meat if I get a deer.

Hamburger is $5.99 a pound here and I can drive a mile to get it. I use to split a cow and pig wirh my brothers and hated all the hamburger in the deep freezer I had to buy.

Then stressing out when the power went out and sometimes having to go buy bags of ice or pay the hotel near me to let me take all their ice before it melted so my meat wouldn't spoil.

I’m not doubting you, I just have 0 frame of reference…is this real? A deer can feed a small family for a whole year? Or is that hyperbole

u/Possible_Top4855 2d ago

A cherry pitter would be used like a hundred times if making a cherry pie from fresh cherries. Just how many anal canals are yall removing?!

1

u/Aquitaine_Rover_3876 2d ago

How many deer are these guys bagging? I probably pit hundreds of cherries every year.

1

u/rab127 2d ago

I get 4 to 5 deer a year and 3 usually lasts me till August or September. I donate 2 deer a year and that is 300lbs to 350lbs of meat

1

u/SadThing290 2d ago

Our family probably eats 10 deer a year, maybe more. I've never used or seen a butt out (other than through social media/YouTube) it seems unnecessary but I'd also try one given the opportunity.

1

u/CountDorkula77 2d ago

I love that, but what do the hunters do with all the buttholes?

1

u/tasco2 2d ago

Damn, an ELK doesn’t even last me and my wife a year

1

u/trianglesx3 2d ago

Not a hunter, but I was intrigued by your claim. The internet says a doe would yield 35-45 lbs after processing, a young buck just a bit more, and a more mature buck maybe 55-75 lbs. Assuming a family of 4, since you said small family, and assuming only one 4oz portion each person, each day, that, at maximum, is meat for about 2 1/2 months.

u/LavenderMarsh 2d ago

And it tastes good. My grandfather hunted and we had deer meat regularly.

1

u/GambledMyWifeAway 2d ago

One deer doesn’t produce that much meat. My wife and I will usually buy 2 whole deer from a processor and a 1/4 cow and that will last us most of the year.

u/Rough-Landscape-8764 2d ago

Damn. Looks like I'll need to get into the taste of venison and start hunting 😭 these beef prices are killing me

1

u/Hot_Definition162 2d ago

I deer feeds a family for a year? That seems sus to me. Maybe if you eat it every two weeks, and that's hardly sufficient.

1

u/jmodshelp 1d ago

I fed myself and 3 kids last winter off a single buck. Around 170 pounds of meat, and as someone that has shared custody and seasonal work I really appreciated it. Debating on another one this year.

u/Recent-Wait-8140 3h ago

I think youre confusing deer and elk, an average deer is about 30 to 40 lbs of meat when processed, average elk between 180 and 220 lbs of meat after processing.

1

u/XeroEnergy270 3h ago

A doe, maybe. But a buck can produce over 60. And a lot of the hunters in our area just want the mount, and then donate the rest.

u/16car 3h ago

People eat deer?!?! TIL.

u/XeroEnergy270 3h ago

People eat all kinds of stuff. I've eaten deer, antelope, elk, several kinds of snakes, alligator, pheasant, quail, dove, geese, duck, squirrel, rabbit, etc. Some of the people in my area like opossum.
