I LOVE all the processing videos you guys have been doing. Not to steer anyone away from Randy’s channel, but another awesome resource I came across a while back is the Scott Rea Project here on TH-cam. He’s a butcher by trade, and does tons of wild game. If you’re ever lucky enough to get an elk or deer out whole, his channel will give you some awesome ideas on how to process cuts bone-in, which really opens up wild game to a ton of culinary options. PS- Osso Buco is incredible!
I did this on a whitetail last year. I had a long steep climb out and this method saved me a ton of grief. I turned a whole 2.5 year old doe into 50 LBS of meat. Even for us Eastern guys, this is a nice method to save your back. Great videos as always.
It is useful for deer, for sure. We use it for deer. I did find out that some eastern states require the animal to come out whole and this would be illegal. Crazy.
I'd be interested to know if anybody has ever weighed the bones from elk, deer, etc to see the actual weight saved by using this process. I would think numbers would make some converts. I was never taught how to do any of this so I am enjoying the learning process.
One tip about your game bags. Don't use to much bleach when you clean them or they'll tear next time out. Not a good thing to happen in the field. Learned the hard way.
John, I just received my caribou game bags; I have read the instructions. Can I use vinegar to sanitize without compromising the integrity of the bags? Thoughts?
Cut the blood clot/blood shot meat from the good stuff and leave it there for scavengers. Besides being damaged, it also is more likely to have bone chips or bullet fragments.
Hey Randy, what size of the Caribou Game bags do you use for taking out a single bull elk...and what type of trekking poles do you use. Looking to get some off the GoHunt gear shop with my points. Thanks for all you do, awesome job. Im a few videos away from watching every youtube of yours haha. Thanks from up here in Canada
In the Caribou Game bags, they have a line called the "High Country Series." For backpack hunting, I use the "Wapiti" set from that line. If not backpack hunting, I use the "Elk magnum" pack. Good luck. As for trekking poles, I use Leki Corklight.
Agreed I used a similar disposable blade knife when they first came out it took me less than one animal to resort back to a real knife. To be honest watching him piss around with such a small knife actually annoyed me enough to ruin this video.
Its a havalon. Rather than re sharpening multiple times during break down, as soon as blade starts to dull, slap on a new one. They have great blade retention and are inexpensive. A must have!!!
What we are using in this video is a Gerber Vital. The blade change mechanism on the Gerber is very easy and no worries of cutting your fingers when replacing the blade.
Oops, sorry, I saw the orange sliver on my phone and assumed it to be a Havalon. Forgot Gerber IS a sponsor. I hope to one day to be able to upgrade from my Havalon Barracuda to a Gerber Vital
Randy Newberg, Hunter use the go pro when you are filming the field dressing portion only that way the viewers can see exactly how and where to make cuts.

I send a lot of people to SRP channel. Great stuff there.

Corey Jacobsen has. Some 35-38 lbs on average.
Thanks for sharing this information Randy!
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome video! I love these how-to spots. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching.
How many replacement blades do you go through in the field?
What knife set are you using?
Can you talk more about how to cut out the blood shot meat so you don’t ruin your other meat? Or do you just put it in a separate bag

Great video, awesome tips. Thanks
Thanks Randy! Always helpful.
Thanks for watching.
great video man. i've been using alot of your techniques. awesome information. appreciate it sir. thanks
Glad it is of some help. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic! Thank you! This video I will be watching again and taking notes! :-)
Glad to hear.
typically, how much time should you allow for deboning out in the field?
If you could, please separate the gutless quartering from deboning.
How much weight would you say you save on a hind quarter by deboning it?

Awesome stuff. This is the part everybody leaves out.
Great video
I let Casey Hayes remove the bones ;)
That looks amazing!!! Gonna be some good grilling going down. If it doesn't make you hungry, you might just need a quinoa/tofurkey injection 🤣
Lots of good vittles to be had from a critter like this.
Where'd you get that hat Randy?
I made it. One of a kind.
Thanks for sharing crew. But a longer knife would do the job much easier. just saying.... :?)
Great video, maybe next video is on removing the skin off from the skull! thanks
Glad you like it. We have shown that in other videos. Thanks for watching.
It does make me hungry, but I will buy the candy bar as well.
Why don't you rub the meat with salt to help preserve it ?
You're going to take weeks to take it out, no reason to salt everything. You'd also need to carry gallons of salt to do that to an elk lol
This would be a lot easier with a regular 6" boning knife ;)
Agreed I used a similar disposable blade knife when they first came out it took me less than one animal to resort back to a real knife. To be honest watching him piss around with such a small knife actually annoyed me enough to ruin this video.
Now why do you want to leave all the muscles in tact
That makes for easier processing when you get home and allows for more/better cuts.
My uncle alwas took every peice of meat down to scraping the meat off the bones.
Hey ain't that bald dude from Born and raised outdoors
Great seeing Ty Stubblefield! I know he moved but I didn't know he got the opportunity to hunt with Randy.
4:28 hahaha 🍫
Its funny watching you cut up that gigantic peace of meat with that little razor knife

I want that experiance
You use a gopro camera with a chest mount for more detailed video.
Love the videos
No goPRO for us. Too poor of quality beyond 10 yards and the batteries do not last long enough.
Randy Newberg, Hunter use the go pro when you are filming the field dressing portion only that way the viewers can see exactly how and where to make cuts.
