Packing Out Meat

I enjoy seeing the different ways people break down their deer/elk. Thanks for posting them up!
 
I've had the original but lost it on my tail gate now I use the elk carved one because its aluminum and it was on sale.

Stay away from the plastic ones just feels cheap...and buy the bulk blades I did 10 years ago and no regrets they work on everything from debone dove to elk.....took all day to get this 8x7 out of the NM hills 4 miles in but a few blades on the havalon and all done.....2 loads out back before sunset. You can see my Mystrey Ranch pack in the background it is the key for heavy loads when your miles in. Any pack with a good external frame is the only way to get 100lbs out at a time. Plus this one folds down to nothing when empty.

I haven't gutted a big game animal in a long time. I went to the gutless method and never looked back. Have used it on deer, antelope, caribou, moose. You name it and it's all good.
 
I use the outdoor edge razor blaze. It's on sale at bps http://m.basspro.com/Outdoor-Edge-RazorBlaze-Replaceable-Blade-Knife/product/13012505462429/

Very good video. Why did he say "most of you won't want the shank meat"? (the meat below the knee on the back legs)
Is the shank meat not as tasty? Or is it just a very small amount of meat?

very tasty, but shanks of any il animal are harder to cook because they have a lot of tendon. Braising or stewing works great. Waste not, want not.
