You've asked, we've delivered! We are going to walk you through the entire breakdown of an elk ! Once your elk is gutted and skinned, we show you how to do the rest. For all the big game hunters out there, this is the video you need to maximize the amount of meat that you get off of your latest trophy kill. Elk meat is near the top of the list of lean meats, it's right there with deer and bison as far as a good, healthy meats. Why pay ridiculous prices for something like Beyond Meat when you can eat a delicious, healthy, real, lean meat like elk meat?

2:20 - Since we are showing you how to butcher wild game, we are going to use tools that we recommend using in the field. The RazorMax™ is a replaceable blade hunting knife from Outdoor Edge. Along with our RazorMax™, the RazorPro™ has a retractable gut hook.
5:23 - For an all in one field dressing kit, a full knife kit in a great carrying case is the Gameprocessor™ kit.
6:06 - The 3.5" RazorLite™ EDC. A removable blade, everyday carry knife that fits right in your pocket.
6:39 - Starting between the 5th and 6th ribs for the elk breakdown using the 8" Outdoor Edge breaking knife.

21:13 - The arm portion is next. Use your meat hook to pull the membrane off of the elk ribs. Last is a bone in rib roast. It can be cut in half for a smaller pot roast. Leave the bone in for extra flavor or take it out for a boneless arm roast.
24:02 - Next is elk chuck out of the shoulder. The top blade steak (or elk flat iron steak is first) and mock tender is here as well, and we can get a boneless chuck roast. Steak kabob, or shish kabobs, or again for steak stir fry. Extra trimmings and the mock tender from the shoulder make great stew meat.
