The Gutless Method with Randy Newberg video

[MattMan]

That's one way of doing it, and a good video for someone who's never taken one apart. I've never started the skin cut at the head, and may try it in the future. I've never done the inside out thing on fronts.

 

I saw no mention of contact contamination in his video. Nor did I ever see him change gloves or mention it after touching hair or glands and then touching meat. If'n I was hunting a state that required a pair of nuts to be attached, I'd take a sandwich bag and rubber band to keep the hair and those jewels off the meat in the game bag. If a cape isn't headed out of the field, no need to skin it on the ground. Gutless then skin hanging legs.

 

Also looked like a fair amount of prime taco/machaca meat left on the neck bone toward the head when he was done.

 

If possible, I usually start with the rear end to get it cooling faster, since it's the most massive...

Great vid. I use this method on all the animals we harvest. I've always started at the back quarter though and worked forward, taking the back strap. then the tenderloin last on each side. The order doesn't matter much IMO, but they did keep it really clean. The goal is to use the hide, peeled back, to act as a tarp would to protect the meat from contaminants.

The first time I saw this method used was in Alaska and I have been using it since in back country situations. If a truck can be driven to the kill site and ice bags placed in the body cavity I think the old school method can cool meat on a large animal like an Elk faster. That being said, the gutless method really works great on Javalina when shot a long way from the truck. The added bonus of saving clean up water just makes this technique that much better when caring for valuable meat in the back country.

 

Thank you for sharing.
