I'm with the dog and cajun on this one...the last elk I got we all (4) helped get it back to the road skinned it and loaded it in the Suburban...so we split it 4 ways, one guy who had gotten a deer really didn't have the freezer space so he only took a few packages of meat....so 3 of us split the rest as well as the cost of processing the meat, some times I cut my own, but as I get older I find that the youngsters don't really want to learn how to do it so much, so I just have the pro's do it !!!!
