Clinton News-Record, 1984-04-18, Page 17r Every year, a good portion of game meat is wasted because people don'tknow how to handle it properly, x don't necessarily mean that good meat is left in • the bush; ,but wastage does occur when animals are not dressed out properly in the .first place, and also because the meat is tough or gamey because it wasn't cared for correctly after it was down and on the way home. The. same thing applies for trophies as well. Ask any taxidermist about some of the things which people bring in to have mounted, and he'll be able to go on for hours about estervilea of unproper Skinning and preparation/ a head- skins, eadskins, fish which have been cleaned and birds which look like they have been put through a meat grinder. A few weeks ago I wrote up a book on Moose, which was excellent and went into great detail describing the handling and processing of both the meat and the trophy. Since that time, however, I have also found another excellent reference for the hunter published by the Stoeger Publishing Com- pany. This book called "Dress `Em Out" covers just about all the big game animals a North, American hunter is likely to en- counter as well as sections on game birds and waterfowl. Captain James A. Smith was motivated to write this book as a result of some com- ments by state wildlife authorities. It was a conunon theme, and as one officer from the Texas Wildlife Division wrote, "We all assume that the hunters or fishermen who go into the fields or waterways are familiar with the proper methods of handling their kill or catch. Yet, time and time again, the overwhelming amount of mishandled and wasted game found each year proves other- wise." Smith states that, "In my studies over the years, another obvious and unfortunate- fact has emerged - that too many sportsmen, geared up, licensed and eager to take the trophy of a lifetime, are loathe to ask ques- tions for fear of being labeled a novice or a know-nothing. Consequently, it their tax- idermists or butchers who must tell them - all too late - that their skinning techniques have spoiled the mount or their field dress- ing methods have ruined the meat." Captain Smith also tried a unique experi- ment. Six couples, all of who claimed they did not like wild game, were invited to a fon- due party, and asked to rate six different unidentified meats according . to their preference. After much sampling, and a thoroughly enjoyable evening, thee votes were cast, and the results tallied up. Their choices, in order of preference turned out to be: first - moose, second - elk, third - deer, fourth - antelope, fifth - black bear, and.last but not least - good old Black Angus beef. The whole purpose of this exercise was to prove that properly cared for wild game:tan as good as, or better than, beef. In "Dress `Em Out", Captain Smith deals with common big game animals such as deer, moose, caribou, bear, etc., as well as some of the exotics such as javelina, moun- tain lion, and alligator. Field dressing, cap- ing and skinning, butchering and recipes are covered for each of the species, along with a few notes on behavior, habitat and hunting tips. Another complete section deals with general butchering techniques and methods of preserving your catch. Game birds are covered as well, and dif- ferent ifferent methods of cleaning described. One trick, which is detailed in this book, is that when dealing with small birds like quail and woodcock, instead of trying to remove the entrails as you would in a larger bird (chicken, etc.), it is much easier to make a slit the complete length of the bird along the back edge of the breast. This ensures that the internal cavity is completely cleaned out, but no meat is wasted. One of the other things I foams very un.ei-estiing was a set of diagrams showing how to bone out water- fowl ready for your favorite dressing to pro- vide a unique dish on your dinner table. "Dress 'Em Out" is an excellent reference book, which should find .a_place-.in___ every, hunter's library. Even if you think you know •it all, I' -ll guarantee that somewhere in this work, you'll find something you didn't know before. Watch for the black cover on the bookshelves of your favorite gun store. If you can't find it anywhere, drop a note to: Stoeger Canada, 165 Idema Road, Markham, Ontario, L3R 1A9, and ask for the nearest location where it can be obtained.
