I prefer to bone out in the field unless I can get it to the truck whole, in which case I'll drive to a good spot to hang it. It takes about an hour to bone out a deer or antelope, less than 2 hours to bone out an elk. I prefer to take more time, but if needed I can trim wrap and freeze in another 1-2 hours. If I have the time, and carefully trim all the muscle groups, cut steaks, grind burger and make patty sausage, it is another 4-5 hours for a deer, 8 or so for an elk.
