Deboning is the way to go! Thanks guys for the tips. I forgot to get a piece of tyvek for my hunt so we layed out a big game bag and 2 of us cut quarters off while 2 others deboned and bagged the meat. My coworker is a butcher so we weighed another guys bones and it was 30lbs of bone you save on a mature bull

My goodness. Our little family will be thinking about you.

Ill go $16 and pay for shipping

Guys I need some help. I cant decide between a pellet, electric, or gas smoker. Can anybody explain the pros and cons? I like the pellet idea because it doesnt need to be babied all day and I like the idea of buiktbin meat probes. Any advise?

You guys are awesome, a lot to digest here.

Haha I tried! It sat around too long so yesterday it got thrown into a new set of Hawkins rings.

56 cents if you have SRP. I have APS so probably $15

Did you check amazon?

All you guys like to smoke meat and none of you ever throw a post up to educate or share recipes!! What the heck!!

Electric smoker with one of those smoke tubes seems idiot proof.

Vowel, how does that pellet smoker tube work? I see a lot of guys use electric smokers with those tube deals

Do you notice it on your electric bill? How long do chips last?

I like the idea of the pellet gills but I have a nice gas grill already. I was looking for a vertical pellet smoker and the only one I am finding is from cabelas built by masterbuilt and its huge and expensive!!

Anybody have coupon codes for cabelas they dont plan on using?

Great analogy. I have been trying to put my finger on it to explain that to other people. Thats why I went from havalon to outdoor edge. Outdoor edge feels like a regular knife

What is a real hunter lol

Jazz, that video you posted made it look fairly simple. I imagine with another guy helping and holding the bone for you it would go quite a bit quicker

I imagine you could leave a few roasts in tact but since its all getting ground I can save some weight. Elk bones are heavy after a few miles!!

Since I grind just about everything except straps and tenderloins why cant I just chunk it all off the bone on a tyvek sheet and go straight into a game bag with it?

I guess Im trying to lighten the pack out a little so I was hoping to learn some tricks on deboning in the field.

Toby, why not bone with skinning knife?

Bite the bullet man. Keep an eye on rokslide classifieds. Guys unload Kifaru gear for awesome deals daily!!

Be careful with sharp knives and boners..

Quit gutting them then

To turn in your 24B December whitetail tag!! Terrible dry year. Turn that tag in and save your bonus points so the next guy in line can have a chance at it!!!
