Good video showing the gutless method of breaking down an elk.

That beats the heck out of gutting; I hope to give it a try in September. Thanks for the link!

Mojo Rising · « **Reply #4 on:** August 05, 2012, 09:14:00 PM »

I plan to try it as well!

I was planning on trying it last year but the elk didnt cooperate :confused:

I've been using this method for 30+ years. Haven't gutted or hung a critter since I was about 20 sumthin. Alot simpler when ur doin it alone. Works on whitetails and pigs too...

And makes be giggle everytime folks say you need a huge knife to go hunting.

good stuff if you are not packing it far. If you are take the time to de bone it. God Bless

Works great on hogs...deer too if it's legal where you hunt!

I finished my deer meat last week. This video made me hungry. 2 months to go here in TX

Thanks for sharing. Great video!

Looks like Fred was using a leatherman in the video.

That's the way we do Elk in Utah.

elkbreath · « **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:08:00 AM »

a couple things

A) he's done that before, he is pretty quick. It's great to watch other guys add their flair to these things

B) That leatherman could be sharper! :-)

c) You can can keep the meet clean and take the skin off. Its got to come off eventually.

d) IF you're going more then the mile, debone it, saves a bunch of weight. however, if you want to leave it on the bone, it does help to keep the meat in a more stable position to carry. The instability is fixed with a light modification to how we pack it...

e) IF we skin it and debone it, the meat will cool WAY more quickly.

I carry an emergency blanket to lay meat on and to skin, to keep it clean. and a folding boning knife to break it down correctly.

Great Video! thanks for sharing. Needed it.

This is a good how-to. I added it to my YouTube favorites. I'll never get to practice gutting on as many critters as Fred (and a lot of you others) have gotten. Seeing it done helps a guy like me a lot.

Good video...thanks

wow, and I paid for a less insightful video from a source I won't post, sure hope I can try this out this year, I have a bunch of elk just short of tied up right now, hopefully they stick around for 19 more days so I can try to get a shot off and give this a try:)

Pretty impressive, and no mess.
