Red work

The red work is a term with two meanings from the hunter language .

  1. Does this mean the work of welding , that is, the search with the bloodhound on the sweat trail .
  2. If the break-up , that is the gutting and exsanguination of the killed Wilde meant.

Welding work

The search is the work of the bloodhound on the long sweat belt on the natural or artificial sweat trail. On Anschuss driving faithful dog from Nachsuche leaders with the words "such verwund" set to the track. He has to find the dead game with a deep nose . If the piece from the wound bed is still fleeting , the dog is strapped (detached from the belt). He hunts and catches the game until the searcher can fire the catch .

Set out

background

The breaking open should, in order to satisfy the meat hygiene , take place immediately after the occurrence of death in order to prevent an immigration of z. B. to prevent intestinal bacteria from entering muscle meat. Breaking up relates particularly to hoofed game . When breaking open, the body cavity of the game is opened and the intestines are removed, which reduces the body temperature more quickly and tries to rule out possible contamination by feces or bile. In the case of small game , further processing can take place after they have been transported home; breaking into the field is usually not possible.

method

Currently, for reasons of meat hygiene, the following method has prevailed for all game without changing the terms used in hunting terms:

  • Hang up the carcass with the head ("main") down
  • Opening of the body cavity (with cutting of the ribs and / or the sternum) from the pelvis to the larynx, prior removal of the penis and testicles
  • Removal of all internal organs. Often a circular incision is made around the sphincter sphincter (" ringlets ") in order to release the intestine completely and cleanly. There is no need to break open the pubic symphysis or lock .
  • Bleeding and cleaning of the body cavity with drinking water

By hanging upside down, gravity makes it easier to remove the pelvic organs . Larger cut surfaces are avoided, which is beneficial to the meat quality.

Game-specific approach

In hunting terms, gutting in hoofed game is called "breaking up". In contrast to ringing, it is common to remove the bladder and rectum from the pelvic bone at the symphysis by severing the cartilage with a knife using force - the lock, the bone joint between the pelvic halves (pubic symphysis) is opened and the rectum is removed It is easier to get to the Weidloch, if there is severe ossification, it is sawn or broken. The Hunter opens the abdominal wall of the game and from the throat to the rectum the departure d. H. all offal. In male hoofed game, the testicles ("rutting balls", "stones / blocks") and the penis ("brush", "rutting tail") are also removed. The bleeding can be accelerated by opening blood vessels in the pelvic area ("arteries").

In the past, game birds were “unhooked”, which today is no longer permitted as unhygienic . Flying game was unhooked by inserting a metal hook (often part of the hunting jack knife) or a hook-shaped piece of wood into the bird's cloaca , turning it and then pulling out the intestines and tearing them off.

The "throwing out" of small game such as hare and rabbit , which is no longer common today, is just as unhygienic . A small cross-section was made into the abdominal wall; the innards are thrown out by hurling the body of the game.

Further steps

The “ departure ” usually remains in the hunting district and serves other carnivores for food (e.g. foxes, marten-like animals, wild boars, birds of prey and corvids). It can make up to a quarter of the live weight. The guts (the sound ) used to be the responsibility of the hunter / hunter himself. Stomach and intestines (the great sheath ) are now disposed of in the field or fed to existing hunting dogs. It is important to pay attention to the concerns of forest visitors and possibly their dogs when casting off. The innards of animals clearly suffering from infectious diseases, as well as those of wild boar, are buried deeply in accordance with regulations (0.5 m of compacted soil above the material) or taken for animal carcass disposal . Due to the occurrence of chronic wasting disease in deer, among others, it is recommended to wear gloves.

Skinning (depending on the type of game, “belching”, “rinding” or “knocking out of the ceiling”) and dismantling (“chopping”) are work steps that do not fall under the concept of “red work”.
