By the time I got mine home last May, I was so tuckered that I used the neighbor's Sawzall.  Not a work of art but a lot quicker.  Cooled it, froze it, & pulled it out later to do the actual cutting.  The roasts & kelbasa has been great.

I used a 3 inch Kershaw pocket knife and a hatchet for 100% of my bear last fall...  keep the hatchet attached to my meat pack! knife in pocket.

I used the old heel to heel and peel the whole thing...that way...any mount I can think of is an option!

Next bear or 3 will be upright 1/2 body wall mounts...now that I got my rug...

i took every scrap of meat...ate all but about 10 pounds that went to catwithboost and wifey...many of u ate it at the spring get together! so u all are now wetarded too :P

People always discuss the butchering...many dont taxidermy...  If I wasnt gonna get taxidermy done... it would take like 10 minutes to quarter and start hiking...

we have two great taxidermists on here...Michelle Nelson and that Bucklucky guy :P  so theres plenty of reason to get it done up.

as for the meat...   lots of steaks...some stew meat...few roasts...and thats it...anything fancier and u better talk to Kelly_catwithboost!!! ;)
