I have more pics but I can't load them tell my printer gets fixed and I can take them off my camera. My knee is the only thing that really hurts. I was in the rim rock unit and I'm excited for the yote hunting now

Nice work.

Gotta inquire on the hatchet part though, you one of the folks that truly quarter an animal by splitting the spine?  If so (and after you've now dealt with hauling the animal out) what is the rationale in doing that verse taking off the 4 legs whole and then boning out the loins/backstraps/ribs/neck and leaving the spin & rib cage bones?

I used the hatchet to get the legs off and to split the pelvis. I for got my saw so I had to use what I had with me. The other guys took the whole front half out in one piece minus the head/neck.

If you had to do it again though would you remove the front legs and debone the rest so you didn't have to try and lug the ribs & spine though?  Sounds like it wasn't too fun.

Again, congrats.  Just trying to learn from experience on differing methods.

Good Job all I can say is debone, debone, debone, right there right now.  piss on carring bones, not me never again.   A old sheet makes a great butcher board and a pillow case for the scraps.   :brew:
