- This is sustenance hunting. It's a way of life. It's how we feed our family. We get outside, we get exercise, and occasionally we get an animal. We hunt as a family, we cut and wrap together and we eat meals together.
Moose are delicious and we're very thankful for a successful hunt.

My favorite part of this video was right after the shot. From what I've seen on your videos, you have done an amazing job teaching your daughters the fundamentals of hunting as a means to feed your family. One could hear and see that your daughter didn't take this responsibility lightly. The concern in her voice and the look she gave after the moose first went down was real and raw. She knew it was important to get a good kill shot, so when the moose managed to get in a few more steps, her concern was genuine and she knew she needed to pursue immediately. I appreciated being able to witness you being more than just a good teacher, but also a loving father and assisting near the end to make this a successful hunt for both of you. Well done, sir.
I'm sure most of us will agree with that comment. Great to see someone take the time to write coherently. Another good example of humanity striving to be better, in all we do every day.
Rose: "Where you going Jeff?"
Jeff: "Hunting!"
Rose: :Where exactly?"
Jeff: "End of our driveway!"
Rose: "Make sure you have your GPS on, you can get lost on that driveway!"
This reminds me of when my 14 year old daughter shot a huge bull moose. She was shaking immediately after and the adrenaline caused her to talk in a low whisper until she could calm down. It's a big day when a young lady shoots a moose. Great job Christina!
Nearly choked when Jeff said " everyone loves eating beaver " ROFL
There is nothing better than hunting with children. Listening to her breath after the shot got me excited. I have hunted my whole life and love it. But would hang it up in a heartbeat if I could take a new child every time I went in the woods. Great video!! Congratulations.
Man, the raw emotion in her breath just after the shot. That is what it's all about. As real as it gets!
What a hunt, I could see Christina didn't want to be where the wolf had made a kill, then when she shot the moose she was very cool under pressure but caught up with emotion. You must be proud Jeff, and some very young organic meat to boot. What a life, bless you guys.
Hi Jeff, I think what you're doing makes sense if you're going to process the entire animal immediately. However, if you're going to let it hang for a bit then I don't think what you're doing makes sense because you're going to have to trim off additional waste. I usually just clean my animal off with warm water and a little vinegar if I'm going to let it hang for a bit.
Jeff is one of my Offgrid Idols, such exuberance and character, love this family🙏
Nice shot Christina, it was a difficult shot, but you pulled it off and provided much needed meat for the family, not to mention an amazing feast for that nights BBQ for family and your guests. Jeff is a proud Dad, as he should be, he's taught all his gals how to hunt and live off the land. His daughters will carry on this knowledge from generation to generation. Bravo!!!
I'd watch this reality show over any reality show ever made on tv. Bless you and your family ❤
We used to put our meat in a 45 gallon drum with cold water in order to take the body heat out or hang it and run cold water over it, that also helped clean things up a bit. We did minimal trimming to. Also had lots of people that would say they would never eat wild meat, they always enjoyed mom's cooking and they always ate seconds, they didn't believe it was wild meat. Good job, love seeing this kind of family content!
Same here!
Our first meal after the successful hunt was heart fajitas. The next day was fried liver and onions and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Yummyyyyy
The heart is my favorite. Next favorite meat is gizzards of any fowl.
Heart 👍 liver 🤮
@@greatplainsman3662 agreed!
Poor Christina looked like she might toss her cookies. It was great to see her smile. Rather than trim I use a propane rosebud torch and quickly go over the carcass and burn what little hair is on it.
I've always found the best way to avoid gamey meat is to:
* Field dress it immediately
* Get it on ice or refrigerated ASAP
* Dry age it (7 days is my rule of thumb)
* Then trim off the exterior meat and connective tissues
And The GIRLS get it done . Christina nice Shot , a pretty difficult angle . Congratulation
You're doing a great job at cleaning and preparing the animals that ya'll harvest,brother I said it once & saying it again,you have an AMAZING family and ya'll in my opinion are living the DREAM LIFE,take care,put God first and everything else will come,may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.
This episode was a piece of art! A visual and aural masterpiece!
Wow, thanks!
Congrats on the moose! In terms of trimming I leave it until the animal has cured for a few days. Just before butchering begins the thin crust needs to be trimmed, so you get it all in one shot.
I would second this. Assuming you are hanging the meat, the cured portion will capture all the hair and dirt. We hang our elk for a week or more. If you were able to hang it whole like in this case, you would lose even less meat when trimming the cure. You would have to wait on the backstraps though... We always have to cut ours in quarters with the backstraps and tenderloins separated, but only because we haven't got one in the driveway yet... oh well.
We use a vinegar and water solution and wipe down the meat with rags. It helps clean the meat and protects it to hang longer. The longer you hang it the more tender it gets. Congratulations on the harvest.
Ok, my mouth is watering. Haven't had a good moose steak or stew in too many years. Good job.
Tips are great for those who are just starting out. As long as you utilize as much as possible, it's not a waste. That is disrespectful to the animals, and to the One that created them. Good shot young lady. You had a tough one, but it did go down.
Congrats Jeff and fam on the harvest. Yes, the trimming is good practice. And dogs have to eat too.
It looked like taking that kill shot hurt her heart..and I said Awww..I know that feeling, and it isn't a fun one, but sometimes it is necessary and what we have to go through to survive and protect what needs protected. It can be very hard to pull that trigger when you look in those big beautiful eyes, and know that you are taking an animal's life, but sometimes it's what we have to do. Dad, next time you see that expression, a hug and some reassurance is in line, that it will be okay. I think that animals go to Heaven, too, when they die, because the Bible says they do. God put these animals here for us to use for food or other necessities, and it's just part of life we have to get used to. Hugs from an old country girl. God bless you and yours.
Thank you. I've always said; it's possible, and maybe the best, to love hunting but not love killing.
@@Gridlessness So true. God created so many great things for us to use and enjoy, and just being outdoors is a blessing. Our evil govt is doing terrible things to us, and we are living through the scariest times ever. If you have time, watch my vids, and then watch Dr Jane Ruby and Stew Peters shows. Karen Kingston interviews are imp. sept 16 and oct 3 stew shows. Stay away fr hospitals, they are ending ppl. Demonic times we live in, and if you don't know Jesus, please get saved. God bless and guide you in Jesus' name.
If it wasn't for those girls you would be lost brother lol awesome job ladys and you also dad hehe
love your channel! We always wash the animal down before trimming with a mixture of water and vinegar before trimming. Takes the few hairs and dirt off to ensure clean meat. Leaves no taste.
Raised three girls their isnt any thing like that feeling seeing what you taught put into action . beautiful family be proud ..very proud..keep doing what you do guy and congrats on the moose
Amazing you guy’s are living a dream that money can’t buy. Kudos to you, your wife and kids
this lifestyle has taken lots of money
Ya extrañaba sus videos que paso saludos
Good job Christina!!! Looks delicious! Wolf poop.... not so much!!!
this video has it all! great hunting! emotional moments and humorous moments (get yourself a wife like Rose to sharpen your knives ) lol , and educational moments, great video!
Christana great job
Your wild game processing tips are spot on! Love watching you and your family hunting and spending quality of life living in the back country. Excellant way to to raise a family and live a life. Good Job!
Always a nice hunt when the children do the taken down of meats for the table… Outstanding
I found a roadkill deer recently. I didn’t hit it. But I brought her home and dressed her out. She was so young and tender! Waste not want not. Got about 20lbs of free venison. I’m grateful for every bite.
A beautiful young lady coming of age the right way. Great family with great values!
What a wonderful group of young ladies hunting and all their able to do Jeff an rose you have raised super adults be proud and let your girls know how amazing we think they are we love your videos thank you all
I don't know about moose, but on whitetail deer, the key is getting the meat cooled down asap. We debone into the major muscle groups and then get it into the meat frig. within a couple hours of the shot. The meat is always wonderful. We also age the meat for about 10-14 days before final butchering.
We're still following you guys and stll enjoying your videos.
Here is a tip the Elk taught me years ago through lots of boot time and many,, many days in the Elk woods. It looks like good elk habitat where are you are hunting.. If there is lots of elk sign along the river, that is the first and most important factor. In that country they normally feed along the river or in close proximity however, you will rarely find an Elk there come daybreak and you will never catch them as they reteat to their bedding areas far, far from the river. You will need to spike out and intercept them in transition. They will be vocal as the move though to and from.
Or, locate the well worn trails they use to get to the river, follow them up a fair ways (staying off the actual trails) being mindful of the thermals and prevailing winds, and intercept them as they return to feed in the evening. They won't show on the river till well after dark but if you camp nearby, you will hear them all night on the rivet
I can assure you that if you follow either method, you will have an Elk down within a few days. A word of caution thoigh, bring your pack frames. You will have to piece them out.
In my experience, you have to go after them and hopefully, if you hunt smart, without them knowing it. When using the first method, Get high, listen and glass lots to study their movement patterns before moving in to ambush them. May take a few days but Hey, you're in Elk country. Take it all in and make the best of it.
Love you guys (and girls lol).
God bless!
Awesome advice! Thanks!
Brings a whole new meaning of HAPPY MEAL, from John in Texas. Way to GOooooooooo
Congrats Christina!! Providing for the family!!
I've processed probably hundreds of deer. My family and friends usually brought them to me because of how clean they were. I always washed the animals down with a damp rag, then dried them off with a cotton cloth. The water won't hurt the meat, as long as you dry it quickly. Another tip, that I see that you do, is always remove the feet before hanging. Not everyone does this and they end up with hair in their meat.
Oh MAN, you speeded things up and I JUMPED sky high. I love this video.
Hahahahahaha. "I wonder if Matt's Off Road Recovery has ever recovered a moose."
Good shot Christina 👌 👏!!!!
This is bar far one of the best videos this year guys 👌🏻🙌🏻
Great, thanks!
@@Gridlessness^^^ I'm guessing this isn't you above and is a scammer. This is happening everywhere on YT and there are aware of it but not doing anything to proactively combat it. Most are asking for money to pay for shipping and handling of the prizes the content creators are giving away........ SUBSCRIBERS BEWARE!!!!
@@MrMuDD01 yes it is. I report it every time.
Awesome video, always makes my day seeing a new upload from you.
I am on a big management cull of red deer and pigs for my boss here in New Zealand, the perks of being the only one with a firearm and hunting skills.
Nothing is wasted and everyone at work will be getting full freezers, along with teaching the young ones who want to come out with me
Hunting tips +1
Yucky Meat 🥩 -0
Clean and sharp is the way to go in more things than butchering! 😂
Love the video ! Good to see you guys out and about!
I learned really sharp knives, trim and everyone loves beaver. Sweet let's go camping.
We find that getting the animal cooled down as quickly as possible help prevent the gamey taste too. Gutting and skinning as soon as possible makes a big difference.
Father - Daughters hunting videos are always wonderful, especially the constant smiles. First discovered Gridlessness with the kid caliber video... cherish these hunting trips Jeff, they grow up fast. Will Julia teach Christina how to tan the hide? LOL
I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I have seen your kids growing up. You have taught them the fundamentals of survival that will be passed down your family for generations to come. Good job! Keep it up!
Love your videos you and your family are totally awesome
❤
Agree with the sharp knives and fat removal. The cooling of the meat is very important and weather will dictate if you can age the meat or just skin it and get it cut up.
Finally, someone who knows what they talking about. In fall like to hang quarters for at least 24 hours to dry out a bit. A little longer if weather permits.
We do the same for the Elk we harvest here in the PNW Washington we have only one time brought one out whole with a Jeep like yours the rest came out on our backs thanks for the video
The look on her face is priceless!!! What a great tag!!
Take the easy one when you can and don't feel bad. Evens out the hard pack. Also young bulls taste better
Excellent video, shows the reality of hunting, many days of zero results and then finding elk in the front yard! Christina's emotional reaction shows massive respect for the elk, truly a blessing to see. Well done Mum and Dad for such magnificent parenting. 👏
Gridlessness is by far one of my if not my most favorite TH-cam channel, been subbed for years. Always interesting content and they believe on the Lord and their life is good. Brings me joy to watch these videos with ur girls out hunting.
"Everyone loves eating beaver!" :-)
Spot on! trim everything that is dirty and remove every hair possible. Your advice is (see the first two words).
This is a awesome video. Thanks for sharing your incredible family .Stay BLESSED !
Congratulations! And man does that look good. My grandparents, parents, and now I have always done our own butchering and feel that the keys are 1) as clean a kill as possible, 2) field dress as soon as you can and wash out the cavity, 3) get the carcass chilled as quickly as possible, 4) weather or walk in cooler permitting, hang and age the meat for 7-14 days.
When doing the actual butchering, cleanliness is key. Sharp knives are essential, and I like to break down an animal into pieces to work up.
Awesome! Way to go Christina! My Dad taught me to hunt as well, but we only have whitetail deer here in South Carolina! I clean my deer then let it hang in a walk-in cooler four days before I butcher it, I do trim the outside off like you do with your moose!
Great job Christina!!! Very nice shot. Fresh Moose meat.. You guys sure worked for him. Very happy for you. Fantastic video: my favourite family out in the bush surviving easily! Nice Moose👍 B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Hell yeah good job food for 6 to 8 months awesome job y'all trophy don't let nobody tell you different
For breaking down the moose into quarters, may I recommend battery powered sawz-all with stainless steel meat blades. Works like a butchers band saw. I use it for all the larger game and livestock as well.
Great tip!
Yes, I vouch for that, has worked well for me too.
Good job Christina !
here's my tip, by the way you asked. i never trim the meat except for the tissue and fat. don't like moose fat! what i have found to rid all my different types of game is soak the meat in ice water for a couple day to remove the blood.. the real gamey taste is in the blood and the more you remove the better it taste.. sometimes i use salt in the cold water, too.l
I believe butchering techniques are highly dependent on the animal, but there are a few golden rules. Cool asap, trim all the fat (leave it on until the time of butchering), remove all the hair, keep it as clean as possible, remove anything that you even think has been contaminated by bowel contents or other bodily fluids other than blood, discard blood shot meat, keep one hand as the hide pulling hand when skinning and never touch the meat with it, and wrap in brown paper butcher wrap. A beautiful moose like what you got there, and coicidentally very similar to the one I just got myself, I just followed the golden rules above with little worry of sinew, white skin, or larger ligament pieces. It tastes awesome! Contrary to that with say a rutty bull or buck, or even a "fish bear", anything that even remotely looks questionable that isn't meat goes into the dog tub, and everything gets "skimmed". Love your content.
Just watched 4 videos now im hooked . keep up the good work
Man that is exciting! Congrats on the moose! Nice shot!
I love watching the family hunts
Another great video. Incredible luck shooting him so near your trail! Well done Christina!
He is right! Everyone loves eating Beaver!!
Congratulations to the Young lady, that was a nice shot and the sharpness of the knife, very impressed was cutting like a shaving knife.
Amazing & raw hunting experience. One of your best videos ever. Congrats Cristina & Jeff (and the rest of the family). Thanks for sharing.
Christine and Julia looks like a twin sister. Ofcourse, Christine has glasses if I'm not mistaken .... These girls are great sisters.. 💕💕💕
Dad and his lioness pack.
Super! Now we need to see some moose chef ideas and tips!
Also what you guys do with the heart, liver etc. 😁🇨🇦
Congratulations that’s a great moose 👍
Congratulations young lady! You are a true provider .
waooooo nice shot!
So Glad to see all of you guys!
Miles and Miles.....AND Miles of hiking for that meat, then your luck changed and you found it on the back yard. Good work guys on your successful harvest. Also best tips out there....Sharp knives are a must and trimming too. Processing makes the difference in the taste 100%. Best wishes
Congrats!! Good job!! 👍❣❣❤❣❣👍
That meat hanging there makes my mouth salivate. Them trimmings are awesome dog food. I feed it out raw
Greetings from the land of Blaze King, congrats on the tasty, tasty young bull. It'd likely be a first rack 18 month old one by the look of the carcass size so prime table fare. Over the years we've cut and wrapped a whole bunch of game for friends and family. Agreed on the sharp knives and for sure hair in the meat ruins the flavor for me. We try to take out the fat and connective tissue too as it's often more flavor than you might want. When freezing it, if you have the freezer full of frozen water or pop bottles - which actually uses less power than an empty freezer - anyways a layer of unfrozen meat packages, then a layer of frozen bottles and back to a layer of meat packages and it'll freeze way faster. Good luck on the rest of your hunts this fall.
I could feel the adrenaline. Congratulations!
Cant we stop whispering after the kill. lol Christensen look like she might barf, good job team.
Awesomeness! Congrats young lady! We are hoping for a moose this year also. Beautiful!
Great job Christine nice shot.
I love your channel and watching y'all hunt are my favorite videos. 👍
everyone loves eating beaver!
That was EPIC! You are so blessed!
What an exhilarating video. Thank you for letting us experience that as you did. Failure after failure and all, leading to that moment of heart-pounding success. That's real life. Great tips on trimming the meat as well!! I'm also a father of 3 daughters and I'm highly inspired to teach them the life skills that you have so masterfully taught yours. Keep it up!! You're inspiring many!!
It seems your family is living a wonderful life in the paradise you all have built. Thanks for sharing it.
Absolutely a terrific adventure! Thanks for sharing the experiences of your family. My goodness that backstrap meat looked amazing!
That wasn't the easiest shot to make great job coaching her through it, and you making it happen together..great memories and good meat for the freezer
Great job guys. The young one has some definite hunting skills. Fantastic shot young lady. 👍
Great video guys thank you
Enjoyed the video as always
