Gutting and quartering a deer takes me precisely as long as it takes me to do it....LOL
Sometimes I am fast, sometimes I am slow. Just depends on me and the deer that day.

chital,
do not eat the brains of any animal.
There are questions about whether they may have disease risks even after thorough cooking.

It’s just gutting/skinning a deer. Method or how long it takes doesn’t matter much as long as the job gets done. I would have handed the knife to him and said “Get after it.” 
Prayer is the "ultimate" wireless connection .

You jokers are trashing a lot of good stuff! The heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and caul fat are all saved from my gut piles, basically the digestive tract is all that stays in the field for the critters, and then the hide, the hooves, the spine and the head are all that goes to the bone pile after I’m finished butchering. The lungs and kidneys go through the dehydrator for dog treats, sometimes I’ll add the liver, but I like deer liver for catfish bait. Heart gets eaten, thin sliced and pan fried in butter, caul fat gets wrapped around a roast, ribs get smoked, or individually sliced and fried, sometimes I’ll leave the backstrap on the ribs to slice out chops. Big leg bones are used to make stock, or soup bones. I hunt to eat, and I don’t like the thought of a coyote walking away from my bone yard with a full belly.

There are questions about whether they may have disease risks even after thorough cooking. The way subcontinent spices work, I doubt it, but thank you, I appreciate the advice.

Big leg bones are used to make stock, or soup bones. I hunt to eat, and I don’t like the thought of a coyote walking away from my bone yard with a full belly. I don't like the texture of lungs so we don't keep them, but we do the other three. Also use much of the animal as well, nice to see someone else who does so too!

Does no one simply cut the meat from the bone around the pelvis and then pop the ball out of the socket??? Yes, after gutting and skinning. Same as the knees, and the hocks. Cut around the joints, cut the ligaments, bend/ break sideways, legs come off. I only need a sharp knife, no saws or hatchets. Same here! Quick and easy for an old man.
