Butchering My own ELK

You guys are missing the boat on the shank meat. Cut it into one inch cubes as is, brown, dump in a cast iron Dutch oven with some broth in the oven all day about 200-220.
I gave up on the slow cooking of the shanks... cut out the huge tendons, cube them, roll the cubes in flour and brown them, then eat them.
 
Another vote for elk shanks here. After trying them for the first time last year I will never turn shank meat into burger again. Elk Osso Bucco they are delicious!
As for grinding I agree with getting as much silver skin off any meat to be ground because I hate it when you keep getting little chewy bits of stuff because some people just throw every little scap of meat and sinew into the grind pile.
