Hunting alone

Quartered on the spot by skinning one side and using the inside skin as a table cloth for your work.

My black-tail this year... fell 2.5 miles from the truck.

I can see your carabiner method may help me in some situations in the future.

That's one heck of a Columbian blacktail !!!! Awesome!
 
I usually skin and bone mine out on the ground these days. The romance of hanging died off a long time ago.

I do as well. I can bone a deer in half an hour. I don’t mess with the guts until everything but the tenderloin is off the carcass. Makes for a quick easy job. We keep a dedicated fridge for aging the meat before final butchering.

I did this for the first time myself this fall. But saw @ROCKET do it on Red Stags in Argentina.

Except didn't mess with guts at all. Just made a careful cut below the short ribs and reached in for those inner fillets. I think Rocket reached in and cut a bit with a knife on that larger and older stag, but I did it on a young doe and just ran my fingers around to get them loose.

Rocket is fast, but even on my first try it was very quick and clean.

That’s a great idea. I’ll try that on the next one.

You’re right! My wife shot a nice buck tonight. After I had I fully boned out I carefully made a slit at the short ribs and removed the tenderloins without gutting the carcass, awesome! Thanks for the tip!
 
Awesome! Glad I could help;) And congratulations to your wife

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
