    How much meat?

    I'm curious how much meat you get back from a processor compared to cutting it yourself.. I'm blessed to have a large refer unit and can age and cut my own meat. Never had to pay so wondering what kind of experiences people have had.

    The bone marrow is also the beneficial part of bone broth.

    How much meat?

    Basics are a 3rd bone and hide. A 3rd guts and a 3rd meat. Worked at a beef plant and a whole beef was 350 ish sale weight even the though a whole beef was 6-800 pounds on the rack. Plus they were certified Angus and we were cutting Hereford and milk cows and whatever else was half dead from the auction. Wild game is the only healthy way. A cheap hundred dollar grinder will get you through half a dozen elk if you do small amounts at a time. Trying to do the whole burger run will get you about two elk before it burns up. Best bet is get the 1.5 horsepower grinder for 3-500 bucks if you are serious.

    How much meat?

    Crazy what the prices are. Have heard stories of people getting low yield after taking a clean heavy elk in. Thanks for the responses. I got about 125-150 I'm thinking out of my elk. All trim and scraps are being made into healthy dogfood as well. Even gonna try some elk bone broth this year. Maybe next year even pressure cook the bits off the bones. Doing it yourself is time consuming but rewarding with the yields you get and money you save.

    Wonder what guide offered him the brownest nose. Guess at least he didn't have to have a separate pack horse for all his insulin like Jimmy John.. did his daughter go and was there a camera man behind her a lot?

    Rough tag great hunt

    Over the last 20 years I have drawn a lot of limited opportunity tags. Always 5th choice and every year I say never again. I call it the M effer hunt. Filled a couple rifle cow tags and killed a rag bull on the achery hunt. . This year I had to miss the first three weeks while I was away working out of state and thought I wouldn't even make it out for the last couple weeks of the hunt. Was able to make it out this weekend for three days and had a great time . Spent all day Friday sitting water and had three elk come in at around 430 pm. At the same time I hear a vehicle coming closer and closer when finally a green van with a Jurassic Park sign on the side pulls up through my scope.. off road and drives halfway around the tank. So I switch my safety off and the hippie steps out of his van and proceeded to start preparing to urinate in front of me. I informed him of my presence at that time. Not wanting to get in a fight and having elk in my sight I grabbed my gear and took off after the elk. Never cought up with them. So the hippie decided to camp 10 yards away from the tank all weekend. Test of my old self not wanting to be confrontatinal I decided to build a blind up the trail from the tank and have another family member make a report to fish and game about the hippie violating the quarter mile rule. Two days later 6 elk come in shooting range of my blind and hippie gets a rude awakening with rifle fire.elk down. Had an amazing time and got the biggest cow elk to date. Plus size is on the way out I passed the game warden headed in to give hippie a ticket for stupidity. It was a good day.

    Petition To Prohibit Hound Hunting In Arizona

    I would never go on a hound hunt. But they serve a purpose. One of my favorite units has had reduced deer tag numbers over the years and is even an archery deer draw unit now. Over the last few years reduced tags and increased lion hunters has brought it back with some amazing deer numbers. Saw some hound hunters and big bucks this weekend and was able to fill a limited opportunity elk tag in 3 days of hunting. Hound hunters have been here for a hundred plus years. Tree huggers are only a generation behind me. Who is doing the most damage is obvious.

    GMRS Radio Repeaters

    Ham guys are like die hard fly fisherman. Always complaining about needing a license when it's just a radio. Always complaining when a guy with a spinner bait is catching more fish than them. Take some Viagra and watch your Taylor Swift vidoes .

    She never wanted to run in the first place. Just a end of day bar fly that wanted to put in 8 hours and have someone by her a drink and not pay for it.

    Always been a fan of the magnums. Ruger 96 lever and Elmer Kieth commemorative 29 are staying in the safe. Don't mind keeping this one if nobody wants it.

    Custom smith and Wesson 629

    Not sure. I don't think s&w did factory gold from what I can find. Looks like it was test fired and put away. Beautiful gun just nothing I would shoot or carry and I'm out of space for safe queens.

    NonVoter Shame

    Craziest ballot I have ever filled out. Most judges in my county either get run over or get a DUI. Sheriff gets drunk and crashes a boat. Good times. Still voted yes for the sheriff. If you vote against the old judges though the Democrat governor gets to appoint the new one. Comi Harris is gonna claim stolen election probably.

    HOW DO YOU CAMP

    Rvs are nice but from my experience after owning two is that in Arizona the roof and fiberglass go bad quickly unless you have a way to store them in garage/ carport. Tents are nice unless breaking down camp in bad weather. Took the back seat out of the bronco and built a platform to sleep on. Planning on building a camper out of enclosed work trailer next. The older I get the less I like waking up in a pile of rocks wondering why I drank so much whiskey.
