<< < (2/55) > >>

bobcat:
Does the 190 pounds that you brought in include the rib cage and back bone? What size elk was it? Bull or cow?

mkcj:
I know just how you feel, Some years ago my son drew a youth moose tag, the moose he shot was only a 2 1/2 Y/O but when I picked the meat up it was in 2 boxes, I weighed it when I got home an had 57 pounds of meat :'( that year I bought a grinder from Cabelas and watched video's on youtube, My wild meat will never see a butcher shop again!!!

BOWHUNTER45:
Sounds like it is time for you to head to cabelas and get yourself a grinder and a good knife set ..I had one bad experience and only because I got lazy one year and did not feel like cutting and grinding meat So I bought it to a butcher to find chunks of bone and hair in my ground meat ..perfectly clean and boned when I turned it in  :bash: :bash:

So I no longer get lazy  :dunno: :chuckle:

After the long intense thread on butchers on another thread you should let us all in on who this butcher is? I would also suggest learning to cut your own meats.....

It took 3 months to get my elk back. Shot him during modern on or around the 12th of November....Just him back on saturday. I really didnt notice how little meat was there until I started going through it today for dinner preparations, then I weighed it.

The butcher was 2 hours from home, I couldn't take him to my regular butcher in town due to how far away we were and the fact that we still had more hunting left to do. I'm going to talk to the butcher tomorrow to get to the bottom of this, he is closed Sunday and Monday...

Edit: It was 2 months not 3  I took it in on Nov 8th and got a call to pick up on Jan 9th. Picked it up the following Saturday.
