Outfitter does “game prep but not processing”












9















I am considering going on a guided hunt with an outfitter. This is the first time I've done hunts for game that you can stock your freezer with. I keep coming across the statement that the outfitter will do "game prep but not processing".



What exactly does that mean?

          It means that they will clean and gut/quarter but not turn it into jerky/steak/hamburger for you. In other words they will help you get it out of the field and then it’s up to you to process it from there.



          You would need to process it yourself or find a butcher shop that will finish it.

          • So they would give me the entire animal stripped down? Or in quarters? In other words, what exactly am I bringing home?

            @UnknownCoder My expectation would be that it's either quartered to the point that you can put the meat into a cooler, or put into game bags or possibly just gutted for small animals like antelope.

            Or just do it yourself. It's time consuming but butchering game isn't exactly wizardry. Just follow the golden rule of don't pull with a knife in your hand. Of course, it depends if you're traveling far or not. 60 lbs of meat is a lot easier to handle than a 170 lb gutted corpse.

            @Adonalsium There are also lots of useful video guides to butchery in general and some game specific ones online. Someone I've found particularly useful is Scott Rea. He is UK based, so his game videos might not be entirely on point for the OP, but he will teach general principles. I recently used his vids as a guide to break down lamb legs to joints more suitable for 2 people and have probably never roasted a whole chicken since I learned from him how to break one down.

          Processing would be turning the field dressed animal into freezer size portions (e.g. like what you'd find in the grocery store at the butcher counter).



          Field prep (aka field dressed) would be just removing the entrails and, if it's a larger animal, quartering into a size you can carry out of the woods.



          I don't want to post it here in case anyone is squirmish but I'd suggest Googling or YouTube'ing "field dressed elk" so you can get a general sense of what you'd be left working with. You could also ask the outfitter for recommendations on processors as they've likely worked with others to solve the same problem.

              Or just do it yourself. It's time consuming but butchering game isn't exactly wizardry. Just follow the golden rule of don't pull with a knife in your hand. Of course, it depends if you're traveling far or not. 60 lbs of meat is a lot easier to handle than a 170 lb gutted corpse.

              @Adonalsium There are also lots of useful video guides to butchery in general and some game specific ones online. Someone I've found particularly useful is Scott Rea. He is UK based, so his game videos might not be entirely on point for the OP, but he will teach general principles. I recently used his vids as a guide to break down lamb legs to joints more suitable for 2 people and have probably never roasted a whole chicken since I learned from him how to break one down.

            Processing would be turning the field dressed animal into freezer size portions (e.g. like what you'd find in the grocery store at the butcher counter).



            Field prep (aka field dressed) would be just removing the entrails and, if it's a larger animal, quartering into a size you can carry out of the woods.



            I don't want to post it here in case anyone is squirmish but I'd suggest Googling or YouTube'ing "field dressed elk" so you can get a general sense of what you'd be left working with. You could also ask the outfitter for recommendations on processors as they've likely worked with others to solve the same problem.

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    Image
                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

                    Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                    Image
                    up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

                    Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

                    Image
                    0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"
