Shooting them is the easy part, now the work begins.
« on: November 14, 2009, 09:22:57 AM »
So some of you may know I got my elk opening day.  I brought it to my uncles house where he has a homemade meat locker, pretty sweet.  We kept the meat at 37 degrees for a week.  Lastnight I went there after work and got it all butchered up.  Brought the bags, and bags and bags of meat to my house.  Today I will spend a good part of the day wrapping the meat.  While my uncle is in ocean shores digging for razor clams.  This is my first elk and all I can say it is no deer thats for sure.

I got my bull on day 2 and butchered it Thursday, I was by myself and started at 9 am in the morning and didnt finish til 10 pm. Lots of work for sure but well worth it!

next time I will take you up on it .270, Its all good now though, meats in the freezer, head is at the taxidermist all thats left is taking about 130 lbs of pepperoni meat to be processed. Time to get after some blacktail bucks now.
