Year of the elk 2.0

[Duck-Slayer]

I did a thread a couple years back called year of the elk. That year was pretty poor showing by the fam. This year we have 4 draw elk tags, 1 for each of us. I’m hoping this will be a better year of the elk. Thought I would make the first post.
Which means the start of burritos for the freezer. I’m estimating about 50 days spent in the mountains chasing elk this season between 4 hunters. That means I may need a truck load of burritos

We eat for a year off of 1 elk, could not imagine having freezer space for 4.

My family typically gets 4 to 6 a year and we go through almost all of it with 7 to 8 people.

23 lbs of red meat a week is wild. I would need a commercial kitchen!

Good luck matt, cant wait to hear about the adventures!

Family of 3, we typically need minimum 2 elk a year and some combination of 3-6 deer and antelope. Friends benefit in years when have extra elk tags (3 is common) or draw something like bison but have the processing ability and equipment for that amount of meat.
