I do not "quarter" big game animals, I filet them Alaskan style. You get less bone this way. For me, it's a piece at a time on my back and out they come. You need a good external frame pack.
Do you mean this procedure?
1) Get the animal laying on it's side
2) Skin the 'top' side of the animal
3) Lay the hide, hair down, on the ground.
4) Remove the now exposed flesh taking the minimum amount of bone that is legal
5) Roll the animal on to the other side using the hide to protect it from the ground
6) Skin this side of the animal.
7) Remove head and cape
8) Take meat from this side taking the minimum amount of bone that is legal
If not, I'd be interested in hearing your method.
