Bill Hesselgrave's Seminar Schedule for processing wild game


About Bill's Seminars

Bill's seminars do an excellent job of teaching hunters how to take care of the deer they harvest. His seminars are well attended at our annual sports shows and audience participation is always good. I am sure anyone will learn something by attending one of his seminars or watching his video "Care and Processing of Venison".

Hear what people are saying about Bill's Seminars!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellent seminar on deer processing and especially, knife sharpening.  I've been hunting deer in Illinois for twelve years now and am retired from the U.S. Army...I made the trip to the Bloomington, IL deer classic and was very impressed to say the least.  I strive to keep my knives as sharp as possible and respect the value and importance of a sharp knife.  Your presentation was very educational, informative, and easy to comprehend.  I just placed an order with you online and will definitely recommend your seminars, DVD's and other products to my peers.  I think you have great product recommendations and have developed an excellent system for preparing game.  Thanks again, and maybe I'll see you at next year's show.

I was at your deer "dissection" class about 2 years ago at the Deer & Turkey Spectacular here in Lansing and loved it.  Well now I've finally started hunting and want to be able to watch you in action again, so I ordered your venison processing DVD.  I was able to recall much of what you taught and used it in working on my first deer, a doe, taken in November.  I got about 50 lbs. of meat off her.  You are a great instructor.  Thanks for going to the effort to teach all of us in so many remote areas.

I enjoyed your seminar at the Deer and Turkey Expo in Columbus, OH on the 17th of March, 2007.  It made my trip of 2 1/2 hours from Carrollton, OH worth the time, among other things, at the expo.  I purchased the video Care and Processing of Venison.  I just finished viewing it on my PC and was very pleased.

 I have butchered many of my own deer for a long time here in Ohio.  I'm looking forward to next season and will try your method on my first harvested whitetail of the season.  I also found your advise about hanging time and processing to the freezer very informative.  I will decrease the hanging time and time of processing to the freezer.

 Many thanks for the advise and new method I will use in butchering Whitetail.

Just for your info.  You were the highlight of my nearly four hour drive to the Deer and Turkey Expo at Bloomington Illinois.  I hope your business is a great success.  I purchased several items from your booth and attended your seminar.  I have shared your web site with several of my friends since my return home to Mt. Carmel Illinois and will continue to do so.  I have Deer hunted for 20 years and have always performed my own processing.  If only I had seen your presentation 20 years ago.  I learned so much from your presentation and video.  Your methods and instruction will make my future hunts all the more fun.  I can't wait for the next bow season for not the hunt only but the processing aspect also.  I thank you for your personal attention you gave me in answering my questions and for your great products.

We have had Bill Hesselgrave at our Hunters' Expo for the last several years. His hand's on demonstration of deer processing is an eye-opening experience for most hunters. Bill Hesselgrave's step-by-step explanation of the care of a harvested animal and the processing of it are a "must" for every hunter. I highly recommend both his seminar and his video to everyone who wants a complete hunting experience "from the field to the freezer". Thanks for your part in making our Hunters' Expo so successful.

Bill Hesselgraves seminars on processing venison are very informative, easy to follow, entertaining, and a joy to watch. He gets the audience to participate and ask a lot of questions. I know everyone, whether a beginner or veteran hunter, will learn by attending his seminars or watching his video on care and processing of venison. He does a good job of teaching.

I would like to say thanks for your video on Care and Processing Venison.  This has become the most valuable tool that an instructor can have for teaching in my Wisconsin Hunters Education Class.  I put on a very extensive 40 hour Hunter Education Program and this allows me to spend more time on hands on firearm training.  The students are able to take home your video as an information source to watch as many times as they feel is needed.  The comments that I hear most is, "I think I will try that next time I get a deer because I wasn't sure just how to go about cutting it up", or "I sure like that way better than having to saw cut".  I personally like it because I know it is my venison I am getting back when I do it myself.  Thanks again.

Bill's venison processing seminar provides excellent "HOW TO" information. It is one of the best attended seminars at our annual sports show and is extremely well received. A copy of Bill's videos on venison processing, fish filleting and knife sharpening would be a good addition to anyone's hunting and fishing video library.

About Bill's Seminars

We at Hess Video Productions provide seminars on care and processing of venison. These seminars usually last about one hour, depending on audience participation and questions that are asked.

The seminar consists of actually processing a deer. We show you how to do what is shown in our video "Care and processing of Venison 2nd Edition". We explain how to take care of the animals you harvest so you will always have good tasting meat, how to use the weight of the animal to help you process it, how to identify and cut the primal and how to wrap the meat. Tips are also given on how to tie roasts so they will cook evenly and slice properly. Knife selection, care and sharpening is also covered along with some ideas on sausage making.  We can also cover Chronic Wasting Disease issues.

To find out more about or schedule a seminar, contact Bill Hesselgrave at Hess Video Productions.
