hey guys we killed this bull last night right before dark and we packed out
hindquarter in the back straps last night we came back up this morning pack
out behind a couple fronts today I'm going to show you how to debone the
hindquarter the first thing you need to do for your bone hindquarter and before
you even go hunting is study anatomy and look at the bone in a hind quarter if
you haven't done so before we're look at a skeleton of an animal a deer or
antelope or elk it's all saying just on a bigger scale for elk and figure out
where the bone lies so basically you know the hind quarter of your ground
stakes you're chuck roast up here and separated by membranes and sinew and all
you're doing is separating these muscle groups and essentially pulling cutting
the bone out of the meat you're not cutting the meat off the bone you're
pulling at the bone out of meat cutting the bone out of the meat so the first
thing I like to do is you lay the quarter on its backside so you have the
ball joint exposed and your bone you can see your bone it's
as the femur but you have your femur goes down to the need there's a bunch of
ligaments and bone right here and then down in to the fore leg right here you
can see the bone actually right yeah so the first thing you do is cut
down
and cut right along that bone on either side you're just cutting down along the
one side of the bone to your knee you're just gonna kind of follow that bone
around you're gonna get out exposing muscle group on that side and getting
down exposing on this side now there's a there's a ball right here or underneath
like kind of your hip joint that you have to cut around and it's just a
matter of time you just use your knife to follow the bone around get that
underneath like a hip come back under here cut the underside
of the femur right along the bone and get nice and close so you're not wasting
anything cut down on the head bulbous and coming out on that side just takes
time you can kind of feel that femur starting to lift out of there and as I'm
pulling up on the femur I can feel it and hear it separating you're getting
pretty good shape here so we're kind of down to the knee
so you're gonna continue your cut I'm inside of that leg and you're just gonna
kind of wiggle your knife and keep it pressed up against the bone best you can
get down to the hock here
finish your cuts on the inside of that joint it's kind of awkward in there do
it angles you're gonna cut that all the way through and then if now you can see
this leg bone which is all bone out here and the meat goes up to the edge here
and the backside here and it's kind of thin on the underside so as I'm going
and I'm cutting along the bone on the other side to get all that boy leg meat
and this is gonna start to lift up out of there
now let's send you a me you can use for sausage when it closes up on itself so
you don't let the air touch this inside you have less waste at home you'll
bundle that up and a game bag step to clean and packed up an f1 mainframe and
packed out of here more informational videos tips and tactics be sure to check
