how to field dress an idaho bull elk the easy way.

Very interesting where in Idaho are you located?

to the people talking about tenderloins and whatnot, a piece of info: the 'back strap' is on the outside of the spine, and the actual name for this is the strip loin. The Tenderloin is the muscle opposite it, on the inside (underside of the spine on 4 legged animals) While backstrap/strip loin is excellent, the tenderloin below it is truly a far more tender cut of meat.

you guys are hillarious, and ovbviously inexperienced bow hunters. this was a quartering away shot and it put the big bull down within 150 yds. this is the kind of shot that most bowhunters want, besides a broadside shot.and we do get the tenderloins out after all the outside meat is removed. we eat and utillize all the meat we can.We do hunt for food!. ( gut shot ?) LMFAO!!!!

and people seriously use a saw for that? jesus.

why dont you harvest the back straps on the inside after you quarter the rump and shoulders? the straps on the inside, in my opinion, is the best cut of elk out there, plus there is nothing like cutting out the heart and taking a bite out of it after that fresh kill!

@begalman1337 when you say back straps on the inside do you meen the tenderloins? Or is there another cut of meat on the inside?

[begalman1337]

@948MXRACER I do mean tenderloins, but there are other edible portions inside, the liver for example, but im not one to risk eating organs

the knife i use is called a ( Jacob's custom ) knife. i got it at a sports show many years ago. i dont know if they are around anymore. this knife has the best blade i have seen for staying sharp.
