Yeah Brian, in Colorado the rules (at least did) exclude the neck and the ribs from necessary recovery, however not all states are like that. Pretty certain if you do that in Alaska you will be fined quite heavily.
I bone it all out and sort thru all of it later, when in a state where I can do that.
I do that same thing at home when butchering my animal, putting the bagged pieces and parts into a cooler for a few days on ice.
It is certainly a great idea if you do not need to register the carcass. Hoping Wisconsin sees the light soon.
