Elk processing

Recommended Posts

I have a 22N tag I plan on filling in December. :) Where is a good place to take it for processing? I have a guy in young that can do it but wanted to know what other good options I have around Payson. Also I think I will likely need to de-bone the elk to pack it out easily, do you have any tips for that?

 

Thanks

If it's boned out there isn't a whole lot of reason to go to the expense of paying someone to cut it into bite size pieces for you.

I used Ron Beuhring by the airport last year. Great work and very quick.

Check out youtube and see if you can find the video by Colorado DOW. They have two crazy butchers deboning an elk or deer. I was waiting for one of them to get sliced up the way they were handling those knives. There are also good videos on the gutless method. The only thing I do differently is I open the cavity at the end to get the loins out, then again I also take the heart and liver so it has to be opened anyhow.

I looked for that video and couldn't find it. You have any other thoughts or a link for these guys?

Just look up boneless method on YouTube. It will walk you right through it.

My bad. Colorado Parks and Wildlife called "Down to the bone" and not on youtube. Let me see if this will cut and paste.
