When most people think about hunting in Alaska, it’s the big game that captivates the adventurous minds. Leysath has a different goal in mind and it’s discovering the consumption habits of the locals during the winter. The first journey finds Leysath and local contractor/hunter (Mike Mudget) searching for Sitka deer. After watching Mudget harvest two deer, Leysath spots a deer and does not miss the opportunity to contribute to the “meat harvest”.
“This specific hunt is not about stalking the biggest deer, but rather, finding a great source of nutrition for the freezer, said Scott Leysath, Host of Dead Meat. “Later I meet up with a guy the locals call ‘The Mad Butcher.’ He shows viewers the proper way to field dress a deer and go beyond the primal parts.”
After a successful icy-cold waterfowl hunt and a sampling of a deer tongue tacos, Leysath moderates the preparation of three succulent meals featuring diver ducks and deer parts often discarded. The step-by-step direction and culinary perfection affords viewers great insight into the process of how to create new and tasty meals from proteins usually considered lesser table fare.
