The course demonstrates how deer are ethically selected and dispatched, but participants do not shoot animals themselves. Instead, the focus is on hands-on skills in skinning, butchering, and cooking, alongside techniques for rabbit and pigeon. Emphasis is placed on using as much of the animal as possible, giving a clear understanding of where meat comes from. Key Details Duration: 1 day Start/End time: 10:00 – 15:00 Group size: Maximum of 8 Location: Westwell, Kent Key Skills Safe handling principles around stalking equipment Ethical game selection and culling practices (demonstration only, no participant shooting) Skinning and butchering techniques for deer and other game Meat hygiene and preservation methods Basic cooking of wild meat What to Expect The day begins with an introduction to ethical game selection, stalking methods, and how to check animals for disease. While the process of dispatching is explained and demonstrated, participants do not carry out any shooting themselves. The practical elements start with skinning a deer, with detailed instruction on preserving both the hide and meat, always reinforcing respect for the animal. Following this, the group moves on to butchery sessions, learning how to identify cuts and maximise meat yield. Preparation of smaller game, such as rabbit and pigeon, adds further variety to the skills taught. The day concludes with cooking a selection of the prepared meat over an open fire, allowing participants to taste their work. Extra activities, such as beginning the tanning of hides and using bones for practical purposes, highlight how to make use of the whole animal.
