Bone Stock
« on: March 13, 2017, 08:40:05 AM »
Anyone else make their own bone stock?  My wife and I started using some of our own beef bones and man it's amazing (plus super nutritious).  I'm seriously reconsidering boning out any meat in the field now!

Wild game bones are different than domestic beef bones. I try not to cut through bones at all if I can on wild game. Same as the fat as far as I have ever experienced.

I don't know all the finer scientific principles of the makeup differences of them but I would assume it's the same as how you don't want to eat or cook with the fat off your blacktail but it's great with beef.

For what it's worth, one of the finest soups I've ever eaten was made with caribou bone stock.  My buddy's wife put up bone stock from moose, too. Don't know if she did the deer, tho.  :dunno:

Next elk we get I want to save the bones for making stock.  Assuming I get a deer or a bear it'll be a backcountry hunt so I probably won't be able to bring the bones home unless it's a fairly small deer/bear.

After a lot of research that my wife did, and I got the summary of... I'll pack out the bones.  I'll make the extra trip for them even (within reason).

Interesting.  I guess, depending on how bad the hike in turns out to really be, I'll consider bring the bones out too then.

LOL this was referencing a back country hunt, not a back yard hunt.  Think you'll make it on this one??? ;-)

Sumpnz, you'll have to forgive the weird foo-foo feeling this site gives you, but the research is pretty solid.

I'm not sure I'm at the point where I will be keeping hooves, mostly because I just don't want to spend hours cleaning all the crap and dirt out of them.  That being said... We are killing the animal, seems kind of disrespectful to not get the most out of it.

I'm going to try it next year after reading about it in a cookbook I bought last fall.  The book is Buck Buck Moose.  Has lots of interesting recipes and every one I've tried has been good.  They are very different than your typical cook book. 

Here's the guy's website: http://honest-food.net/  Lots of good stuff for many things outdoors (fish, variety of game, mushrooms, etc.).
