Thanks! I printed that out for Beau! We just finished up butchering the #700 bull Elk he got in CO a few weeks back. We shared the meat, and kept the GORGEOUS rack, which he’s going to mount. Now to find a place for it! ;)
After we vacuum-sealed the steaks & roasts and tenderloin, we ground up the scraps and got 58 pounds of burger out of it, too!
We had elk steak on the grill the other night; I used a basic marinade; nothing fancy. So delicious and surprisingly tender considering the age of the elk.
Remember that 538# Black Bear he shot LAST fall? We sent a fang/tooth in for analysis with our DNR and he was 15 years old! Also amazingly good meat. Beau estimates that he easily added 60-75 black bear cubs to our forests in his lifetime.
What a life! Eat. Have a lot of sex. Hibernate for half the year, LOL!
you are talking about the bear...right?
