Thanks for the great video post.

Thanks for sharing.

The only thing I noticed is that they didn't take any rib meat; would you get in trouble from F&W if you did this?

I used to do my moose similar to that and then hump it out of the bush. Then I got too old and lazy and I bought a quad.

Worthwhile video. Thanks for posting it.

For some reasons, I feel that it was taped in Idaho!!! and if I am not wrong, in Idaho you have to tag the antler. In Utah, you have to tag the antler.

I think F&W have better things to do than giving someone crap for not taking rib meat which I doubt is considered useable anyway.

I was thinking more about the tenderloins

Tundra Monkey · #12 01-21-2010, 09:42 AM

We use pretty much the same method. Peel the ribs off last and get the heart etc. Then you open the sack and push the stomach to one side and get the tenderloin off that side......push the carcass over and reach in to get the other side.....works good.

Actually if you watch toward the end of the 2nd vid, he does show how to get at the tenderloins.

We almost do the same thing,but we put all the meat in 5 gal. pails with lids and then into the tub trailer.Its a great way to do it,way less weight and useless bones to take home.

Can anyone confirm that you can leave some of the rib meat? I was told you had to take all the edible meat from the carcass when deboning/packing out......the evidence of sex notwithstanding.

beerhunter · #17 01-21-2010, 11:47 AM

Love it....next moose or elk will be done this way. I may even try a deer for the fun of it. Very clean and efficient. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before.

calgarychef · #18 01-21-2010, 03:43 PM

I've used the gutless method and for large animals it's the way to go. I also take the neck meat (makes great stew). For the ribs you can just use long strokes starting from the direction of the backbone (after removing the backstraps of course)and just keep cutting the meat off, there's lots of meat on the ribs and including the brisket it's worth taking.

After trying the ribs from my cow elk this year I'd probably go through the work of getting the rib secion out in one piece. Those ribs are fantastic.

Sorry. When I read "Gutless method video" I thought it was a clip of Carmelo Anthony "fighting"

Here's a similar 'gutless' cleaning method done on an antelope:

It's all I've doing for a few years on deer and moose. Quick & clean and leaves virtually all of the non-usable parts in the field to complete the 'circle of life' thing! Sure beats dragging it all home to butcher and then looking for a dumpster in the middle of the night to dispose of the bagged skeleton, gristle and scraps - only to end up buried in a landfill forever!!

Rib meat is classed as edible meat and if left could result in charges if you get the wrong officer.
