Deer appears to be still warm too. Its much easier to skin an animal when it has not lost it's body heat. Notice also it was not gutted. I'm betting it is a farmed animal....didn't see any bullet holes.

I'm just wondering how he still has all of his fingers with how fast he is slicing with that knife, and you know that thing is sharp! I agree with CC that it has to be farmed. I've never seen anything still warm and not gutted come into a processor. Still very impressive though!

I thought that looked like a Carolina deer. The guy works for a deer processor in SC.
If you notice, the guy not only did his skinning and slicing with one knife but also used it to split the pelvis with one stroke.
The knife is a German custom-made model. Apparently the owner is German and has some connection there with a knife-maker. Peach Orchard Deer Processing is still trying to get info on it on their website http://peachorcharddeerprocessing.com/index.aspx
They tell me it will cost $25 plus $9 shipping, though the shipping price is just an estimate. I have no connection with them or the knife-maker but I may look into getting one.

Tons of deer here are killed here and taken to the processor just like that. I don't know of any farmed deer around here and the local processor does his in almost the same exact manner, just not as fast. You have to remember that most deer in the east are shot in food plots out of treestands or box blinds. People just walk to the truck, drive to the plot, load up the deer and take it straight to the processor. That's where they skin, gut, and then hang the meat. Before I went out west I had never gutted a deer before hanging and skinning.

When I take deer to the processor in NC I take them in whole. They don't charge any extra. If I am going to give the deer to someone I will gut it first.
If I am going to butcher it myself I'll hang it up whole just like in the video. It's much easier to gut and skin that way. But I hunt only 10 minutes from my house so the deer is still warm.
Field-dressing, quartering and hauling meat out a few miles is a western thing that I am looking forward to doing more of.
