Thread: Be Honest - How do people carry out meat and large weight

I hardly gut an animal anymore. No need unless you really want the eye fillets.

It’s been posted here before somewhere, my preference is to remove both back legs, leaving the skin intact between them across the rump.
So many upsides:
- very little meat exposed to flys leaves & dirt
- it’s lighter to carry as you’re not carrying the pelvic bone
- it’s quite comfortable sitting on your shoulders, just soft meat, no bones
- clean to carry you don’t have blood running down your neck like you tend to carrying hindquarters intact
- cools faster than a whole hindquarter

Easy enough to get the eye fillets out without gutting mate.

Once back straps are removed, find the short ribs, carefully cut in under those the ease the eye fillets out.

I find i can usually do it mostly with my hands so no chance of nicking the gut bag with the knife

That sounds like a good system. I assume you leave the bones in the legs ?
