I'm curious, how do you prepare hunted deer for eating? As in, do you just slice meat off and cook it, or do you need to process it somehow? Like for my chicken, usually we hold one over the sinks and slice it's throat and wait for the blood to flow out, but can't do that with a deer (probably?).

What about revenge for ze kittens?
You can take it to a butcher (which we did if we were feeling lazy, but they take 1/4 of the meat as payment) or you hang it, bleed it, gut it, and then cut it yourself.
You need a stand taller than the deer is from antlers to the bottom of their back legs so you can hang it properly to let it bleed out.
Usually you just skin and butcher the entire beastie and freeze or gift whatever you don't use (since, as obdigore said, you can't sell it without a license.) I've actually never been present for the draining, but I would assume it works like with a cow - you hoist it up above a drain and cut the throat and let the blood drain out.
That's debatable
Gutting is removing the internal organs?

I've only cooked roosters because their incessant screeching annoyed me so, so, sooooo much. Then I felt bad about it and let them went forth and multiplied again =/

Yummy!
You Yanks are too wasteful =/
Yes ma'am, the entrails that can't or won't be eaten. Sometimes you can use them for dog food or something like that, or you can just dump them in a compost heap.
So your computer is going to be full of zombie chicken porn.Like I would know what it's like for a cow
