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

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
