Saturday I shot an bull elk. I didn't want to damage the antlers or the cape so we boned it out on the spot - which was very awkward since it was on a super steep hillside. Also, the beast was filthy so dust flew off the long hairs every time you touched it. I'm POd because I usually take a lot of care to keep the meat clean in the field but it seemed like each piece came with it's own minor catastrophe that left it dirty.
I usually wipe down the meat to get much of the hair/dirt off but the slime holds onto it pretty good. The pieces are too small to hang to form a rind that could be cut off. I was thinking maybe lightly freezing the meat would make it easier to cut off the junk. Has anyone found a magic trick to make this easier?
