Quartering an elk isn’t rocket science. And Randy Newberg has more experience in the process of butchering and processing elk than almost anyone.
In this video, Randy Newberg and his crew are quartering an elk in the field. Using various accessories, the guys get the meat ready for transportation back to camp and out of the backcountry.
Quartering an elk involves dividing the carcass into manageable sections for easier transportation and processing. The process typically begins by removing the hide and then separating the elk into its four main quarters: front shoulders, hindquarters, and the backstrap along the spine. Each quarter is carefully detached from the body, ensuring that the meat is preserved and free from contamination.
Proper quartering allows hunters to efficiently transport the meat out of the field and facilitates further processing, such as butchering and storage, ensuring that the meat remains fresh and of high quality.
