I always hang my deer from the head.

I've done it both ways....I just prefer from the head because it's easier to deal with the hind legs when they're not weight bearing.
Not sure what this one weighs. I need to get some scales. Not a bad doe for around here. Definitely not huge but not small either.

I heard that hanging from the hind legs is better because it allows the heat to rise from the chest cavity easier, as where hanging from the head allows the heat to rise, but become trapped in the chest thus facilitating spoilage. Beats me, mine hung for 2 days by its head and it was fine.

not sure if 1 way is better than the next really. There are upsides and downsides to both. Hanging by the hind legs allows all the blood and shit to collect in the chest cavity and neck. Mine don't hang long enough for either way to be an issue. I get them in the freezer or at least off the bone within a day or so. A majority of the meat comes from the hind legs and back so the heat rising into the cavity wouldn't be much of an issue for me. The front legs and neck are really the only areas up there worth screwing with.

It's been way to many years for me to remember - how does the deer break down? All I remember are the butterfly steaks from the back and a shit load of ground meat. I assume the back quarter has some roasts or something in it?

you can do them just like cattle for the most part....just smaller cuts. I debone everything. I make butterfly steaks out of the back loins ( back straps they're sometimes called) and I'll make steaks out of parts of the hind quarters. There's a nice little football shaped roast in there you can pull too but I rarely eat deer roasts so I may do 1 a year. You can make a roast out of that front shoulder too. Then I grind the rest. We use way more ground meat than anything so probably 80% of the deer or so is ground up.

I use a pretty simple recipe for summer sausage that's pretty good. The trick I think to summer sausage is to get it real cold..... I know I enjoy it more when it's straight out of the fridge vs room temp. Mine just has curing salt, liquid smoke, coarse black pepper, garlic powder, and I'll put a little crushed red pepper in there.
