Quick Question

People do a lot of things I wouldn't. I don't lose sleep over what someone else does or doesn't do anymore.

I've met a lot of people that had no idea you can remove the lower leg bones from a hind quarter with just a knife. Most believe you need a saw. Its not as intuitive as the fronts, but if you haven't seen it done or done it before, its not that easy. I think that is the reason most leave it on.

I don't think the "tough" guy or "lazy" guy has much of anything to do with it. Who cares either way. Its not you packing it.

I bone most stuff, unless the pack is close.

Need to leave that big tendon to hang the rear quarters. mtmuley

They have always been in bags when we do that and then hang by the bags.

I guess to each their own. But my elk/deer are usually a long way from camp and I don't have 4 legged critters to pack my stuff. So my knife goes to work and no bones come out with my meat. I see to always be able to get meat secure in my pack so don't see the need for a bone to help out.
