Packing out an elk
« on: September 26, 2015, 07:56:57 PM »
So my father in law filled his observatory bull tag with the bull being a mile and a half straight up hill.  We quartered the elk and brought it in for processing.  The processor asked us next time he would prefer the elk whole.  Does anyone have any suggestions on packing out an elk whole with limited man power?

 :yeah:  That's a stupid thing to ask a customer. Tells me he doesn't know what meat looks like after its been taken off the elk.

That's weird.  First thing they do is break it down. I agree, find another shop!

Sounds like you took it to Nile Game Processing and you didn't speak to Barb. He tells me the same thing every year, even though there is no hair, dirt or debris on it and it is practically deboned. He is just not very customer friendly but does good work at a good price.

  Maybe the guy has a really dry sense of humor that you did not recognize.  lol
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me
