Title: Rib Meat...............
Post by: arrowflinger on October 10, 2007, 10:41:10 AM: Just wondering. Most of the deer I have killed, I won't even bother. To much work trying to get it all cleeaned up to turn into burger. I'm not sure about an elk.

i am probably going to be in an area where i'll have to pack my animal out on my back this year if i kill one, so i may have to reconsider that, but thats SOP for the last several deer we've all taken. i don't spend the kind of time the old guys i hunt with do picking every ounce of meat off, but i get them pretty clean.

Elk on the other hand I may have to reconsider. Than again you can always make rib's in the crock pot. It's not to bad.

Post by: singleshot12 on October 11, 2007, 11:32:28 AM: I do not waist a scrap of meat if I can help it.I even safe the bones for soup stock.And any blood shot meat my dogs get.
It shows more respect for the animal,and seems to help your odds of getting another deer the following season.

Post by: bucklucky on October 11, 2007, 02:48:37 PM: On deer I take the whole carcass after we bone all the good meat off (everything bot usually between the ribs) and cut the bones with a bandsaw into chuncks to feed my dogs. They love it and its very good for them. Raw meat and bones is the best food you can give your dog. Nothing goed s to waste at all. But elk I do take the rib meat. Now that I think about it I usually do take the rib meat off my deer. Peperoni meat.

Very good.
We used to boil ours first to tenderize them, but it also boiled out the flavor. Now I cook deer ribs in the slow cooker.

seasonings? cut them up individually or leave as a small rack?
how's it work?

Post by: billythekidrock on October 11, 2007, 04:26:44 PM: We will leave on all the meat we can except neck meat. Then cut down from spine to belly about every second rib. Then chop them in about 8 inch sections.

When boiling we used to salt/pepper/spice (love Johnny's) and also used a bay leaf. Then on the bbq we would add the bbq sauce. I a crock pot I use cream of mushroom soup and Johnny's.

Post by: LongTatLaw on October 11, 2007, 05:45:40 PM: Im with billy on the BBQ ribs. The only complaint is that I do my own butchering... mostly with a hatchet...lol so ribs are hard to squeeze into a gallon sized zip lock. Space can be an issue but Ive been known to take the ribs off of 12+ in one season in the south.

I dont waste a gram of meat up to the ears and down to the...errrr elbow...lol

I even take the skulls off of does or bucks not worth a taxidermy mount and do my own boiled euro mounts... and have had doe hides tanned. NO WASTING ANIMAL FOR ME!

Post by: Shadow Cat on October 11, 2007, 07:34:00 PM: You bet they get the bar-b-q! I have a suace mix that I may put on here one day. I like to use salt, pepper, and season salt and some Ms. Dash. Cook over a LOW heat. I cut the ribs into 2 rib bones about half way through so the heat is more even on the meat. Don't cook for to long as this will make the meat tough.

Damn... I should be a chef! :drool: :chuckle:
