Lemme tell ya fellers. I've tried thet way of quarterin'. Besides bein' a bloody mess, it wastes a lot of meat. My panyards got covered in blood, an' more meat spoilt cause it was so chopped up. The guy at the packin' plant said he'd refuse any more like thet cause they were a mess to deal with (couldn't hang 'em). Some bulls I seed had 3" of thick meat on their ribs thet's lost. You lose about 40 lbs of meat quarterin' like thet. God made elk quarter out into 4 nice packages. No reason to mess with the big guy.
