RE: After it's down questions...Elk
Wow,
I didn't know I would raise such a spirited debate. I appreciate the heads up and how-to's. Hunting in Utah, General Bull hunt. Likely to hunt East Canyon if anyone is familiar. Closest access point is roughly 12 miles up Parley's Canyon directly from Salt Lake City. Very steep climbs involved, and will be doing everything on foot. Might be on my own, might have buddy with me.
Believe Utah requires proof of sex but can't remember if antlers are acceptable or if I have to have testes, have to recheck proclamation.
Won't mount head in all likelihood unless I have record breaker (I wish) Was wondering how the neck and neck meat come into quartering and packing.
You guys have raised a very valid point with the boning. If the weather is anything like it was last year I don't think the temp will go above 55 F on the day.
So much to remember and learn....
"The work starts after it's down" is definitely right!!!
Going scouting this weekend, see if I can get some pics.
