excellent - we started doing this around 32 years ago when we got serious backpack hunting - that thing should go into bowhunter ed - fun and productive

great video.... my only objection to it is that I watched it as I was getting ready for bed. Oh how I hate a sleepless night.....
I've gone gutless on the past couple of elk. It is the only way to go.

im wondering how does that multi-tool get through the bone so easy?

Bjorn · « **Reply #23 on:** August 07, 2012, 01:08:00 PM »

He is not going through the bone he is finding a joint, cutting cartilage, tendons and other connecting tissue.

I am with fishfinder - I like getting the heart and liver - and after watching meat eater show I want the caul fat too! gonna try wrapping the heart in it like he did!

Gredt video - but I am usually close enough to a road to drag, only done this when hunting out a boat.

Great video, been using that method for the last 10 years.

It is easier to get the heart/liver after the critter is broken down. Was planning on giving the caul fat wrapped heart in the dutch oven a try this fall after watching the meat eater show.

Another guy leaving the ribs for the Buzzards!

Another thing I have heard about this method is it lowers the spread of CWD into new areas since the spine is left in the field.

Fantastic video! I may process my own whitetail this year... if I'm able to get one!

Tried it and loved it, I don't ever have to gut and saw up an elk again. Faster, cleaner, less flies and hornets, less work, and less weight to pack out. Awesome!

We do very much the same thing only we bone it all out before packing it. We also strip the ribs out.

Nothing left but bones and guts.

Excellent video. Always good to review something like this just before or during the new hunting season. Gets me ready for the job at hand, not to mention picking up new suggestions and ideas. Thanks for sharing.

How good does this method work in the dark with a head lamp and mesquitoes eating you alive? I'm thinking on trying it back in the swamp next week.

Brianlocal3 · « **Reply #37 on:** September 06, 2012, 09:26:00 PM »

That was outstanding , too bad all I ever shoot is deer. I just gut them, then hang them at camp and break them down to boneless meat and in the cooler they go

Here is Mr Warren's efforts.

Warren can do it.

I wished more people would have the chance to learn methods like this. Every year I seem to have to teach people how to take care of their game. I don't mind teaching in fact I enjoy it but I don't think most people realize how much work can be involed in taking care of a elk. Anything that can speed up the cooling and proccessing of the animal the better IMO. Yesterday I helped a friend take his frist elk. Once the elk was on the ground he had no idea how to deal with a large animal on the ground. After we were done he was amazed on how quick we got the elk cut up and back to the truck.
