Assume:
1) It's a decent walk, say atleast a 1 mile to the nearest road where I can be picked up by OK Wildlife dept. employees.
2) I'll have 1 maybe 2 buds who will help act as pack mules once the OK Wildlife dept lets them come in. (only after I've killed an elk)
3) Being that it's 2nd week on Dec. in OK, the temp should be seasonable, lets say mid 40's-50.
4) I'll probably take the meat to a processor. I don't want to screw this "once in a lifetime" elk up and waste alot of meat processing it.
Field dressing I assume will be just like a deer only bigger. I don't think I'll have too much problem in that area although I'm sure I'll get frustrated a bit. After the field dressing what do I do? I'll have to cut it up to haul it out.
Choices:
1) Skin the sections as it lays there on the ground and prepare it for transport,..ie skin each hind quarter, working up to the body and front legs etc...
2) Just cut up the sections hide and all, and transport it that way to skin later.
I've got a bunch of game bags to use to get the meat out, and I guess lash the chunks to a pack frame for ease of transport.
Are there any good DVD's out there concerning quartering, packing and getting the game out..? I sure could use a teacher on this.....
