Hey Boys - RUclips is kind of squashing this video in the algorithm. If you’d like to see more butchering and/or cooking type stuff with wild game it’d be super helpful if you could share it 🙏🙏✊
Ha! Welcome to the party. I’m a knifemaker and fully censored on all the big platforms.
@@MikeJones-vb1me tough in the streets! 😮
Do you guys have a video of field dressing, the full break down of the Elk? It would be cool to hear the mistakes made and what everybody has learned and come to master!
@@jakerobinson2359 clay hayes has a few of these, very good videos
@@jakerobinson2359 yes 👍🏼 BUT it’s not on YT because it would get flagged. We have every knife stroke filmed over at TheElkCollective.com
I cant wait to see the new vacuum sealer Dan buys! He doesnt get excited very often, but the vacuum sealer did it for him! LOL
Totally agree on the 10-14 days! We made a PVC rack for my garage fridge and we can hang 4-5 quarters in there for aging. Last year a buddy and I both shot a cow elk and aged the meat 12-14 days and it was the best meat, super tender great flavor, just awesome. It was hard not to make steak out of everything because it was so tender. We've butchered a few elk and antelope now but I still have a hard time figuring out which cuts are where on the animal. For instance I have a vague idea of where he pulled the top sirloin chunk from in the video but I'm not super sure. The hanging cooler set up is the eventual dream, but the garage fridge works for now. Would love to see a longer video or series of videos of how this guy breaks down quarters or everything really. Everyone has a different spin, but I'd like to see him break down things in a sort of slow very specific way, really describing where each cut is coming from and maybe what you can do with it. Thanks for the vid!
I had a late start to the world of hunting, but I do have to say the best meal I've had was the first deer I killed with my bow because I worked for it. Next on my bucket list is to kill and harvest an elk. I wish I had been introduced to this a long time ago. Thanks for your videos, they are very motivating.
No doubt!
Great video! It’d be great to see more ‘behind the scenes’ content like this. Awesome stuff.
Great video, a little late to watch it. Drew is a natural in front of the camera, he isn’t in front of it often but he isn’t shy. More content like this please. I took a butchery class with a local butcher and it really helped understand the layout, highly recommended finding a Good butcher Shop and asking to give a class. Lastly, I would recommend 21 to 28 days; the meat taste better but you do loose a little bit more meat the longer you let it rest for. Great video, all around. Keep it up!
My buddy started a butcher business this year so I sent by mule deer buck to him, but I aged both my deer and my elk myself. Processed my elk in my garage and boy does it feel good like you said, to watch your family and friends enjoy what you worked your butt off all year to make happen 🙏 great video !
Glad you liked it! -Dan
Love watching people process food! Still need to get something on the ground to butcher myself.
I started butchering my own game three years ago to save money. I'm no where near this, but I bought a few things and have added to it every year. Butchering is now one of my favorite parts of the process, and yes it's so rewarding to provide and see my family enjoy it! I would love to see more of processing and cooking content! Shared...
love this video. Thank you for throwing this video up.
Helps a ton if you can share it 🙏
Already drawing out my meat cooler design for my new shop. Now I just have to check with my wife! Thanks for the inspiration. This weekend should be cutting up my son's first deer.
Hey. We agree on something. 2 weeks aging is perfect on any red meat.
Finally, we agree 😂
Wow that’s an impressive home setup I tip my cap to that gentleman
This is so cool! I love the idea of knowing where your food comes from. Keep this series going. How you prepare the meat for the freezer, then how you prepare it for the table! Thank you all so much for what you do. Great work. Much love from Texas.
Need some help on this one if you can share on socials
I would love to see more videos on the meat cutting process and how each step is done. Very helpful videos to learn from!!!
Man this is great. I know I've said this before I'm not an elk hunting guy but this still helps a lot. My dad, brother and myself usually all get together and skin and butcher our deer together because most of the time they is the only time all three of us can get together. We are not perfect at it by no means but enjoy the process. Would like to see more of this maybe some tips and tricks on how to be more efficient at getting the silver skin off of the meat. Keep up the great work.
Would love more in depth videos of the meat cuts and such! Love doing it myself but love learning and knowing more about the process! Thank you and love the content!
Awesome/timely video!
love the new mix of content, keep the variety coming!
Guys that was a great video !!! Very informative and awesome to see. Can’t wait to see the Buck Knifes tour
Great video. Process my own whitetail past 3 years. Very rewarding to take it from field to dinner plate!
Love the great helpful information. I’ve been a big fan of your channel from a long tim back. I just got back from my first rifle bull elk hunt, it was epic! I did not harvest, but I learned. I live in Hawaii and raise 100%grass fed beef on my land and really appreciate what you guys are doing here in this video as we have a similar setup all grass roots setup. Thankyou
This butchering set up is amazing! I love this style video too!
Sweet looking set up for processing! Dig the behind the scenes stuff
Just when I came to terms with not harvesting an elk this year during Colorado bow season you drop this video! You Maka Da Hunter Krazy!! I got go kill something!
Great job buddy THANKS
No problem 👍
I've been doing my own processing for over 10 years now. I've upgraded equipment a little along the way. I was tired of rising processing costs, not knowing if I'm getting my own meat, and not being able to find a good processor who was open at the time I need them. I make burger, steaks, roast, breakfast sausage, snack sticks, and Jerry at different times. Drew's operation looks awesome!
That is a bad ass setup! I have done the same for every animal I have got except part of my first deer ever and except no where near doing it with gear that nice. Just a basic Cabelas grinder and Food Saver vacuum sealer. Does the job though. I do have an A/C wall unit in my garage I have been thinking of building a cooler around and putting a cool bot on so I can hang my meat. Great video guys! Love meat processing! Definitely going to have to tackle that cooler project next year
Ye love this vid! More please 🙏
Love it, working on my cooler now. Just need to get it pieced together lol but will also be running a coolbot setup
Go for it!
This is awesome! I have a smaller set up and hope to get to this level one day. So more please
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
This was a good video and learned alot of new stuff and keep up the good work
My pap made a butcher shop 40 years ago. We process all are own whitetail. We started putting beef fat with are ground meat. Now we don't we just grind it as lean as we can..I love doing my own
Love the video guys!! This was one of my favorites actually!! Super helpful and insightful!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this video. And love doing my own processing. No where near the great set up you guys have but I still get it done. After watching this I’m gonna work on my own set up. Thanks for the inspiration
That is awesome!
Been looking for a video like this! Great info!
Awesome, thank you!
Great Job Brother....
Any chance you can post the specs to Drew’s butchering equipment?
Love it awesome work guys
I'd love a walk in cooler!
Bad ass setup.
Darn it! I shall not sin but envy was strong in me just now! LOL
Any chance you can post the specs on the equipment at Drew has?
Y'all don't seem very busy lol. Any chance you could conjure up a cookbook with game meat? Sure, there are plenty of game meat books out there but they always seem to lean on the "too fancy for a family of 5 with soccer practice, dance recitals, and book club" genre. I'd love to see a cookbook for the working family who only has 15 minutes to make dinner.
Hoping this video does well so we can make more butchering/cooking
Great work!
Been waiting for this. Yeeeeeeeee!!!
I'd love to know where he gets his equipment, how he sets up his shop. Full tour basically
Definitely more on the buck knives
Love Buck knives!
2 weeks min is what I like with hanging elk in my coolbot.
What kind of chamber sealer was that? I won't be able to afford one soon but it looked like it's big enough to handle large portions which is what I'm looking for when I butcher a steer or 2 each year. Vacuum sealers are great but I've heard chamber sealers are the bees knees.
I love butchering my own elk deer n moose just taste better and you know how it was prepared and respected 😊
I totally agree!
Is it helpful to age the meat that will become burger? If so is that due to flavor or tenderness?
Sweet video. What temp does your cooler stay at?
Great video my Cool bot seems to dry it out
Hey fella's, I'm wondering where you are located. I am in Cheney Wa, and am looking for someone that would cut my critters as I don't have the ability to do my own at this time. Any help would be appreciated.
Any links to the table with the plastic cutting board that can be shared?
Roughly how big is this cooler build? In the process of planning mine now.
Nothing like eating what you shoot👍
@3:35, I wonder if Tim's OF subscription has gone up.
Had to raise rates 20% to cover inflation
Love this but I Was hoping we’d see a lot more on DIY meat locker build info! Maybe that’s another video? Great work though
More to come!
@@ElkShape would love to see the build and necessary parts etc
So In the off season would you just shut your meat cooler down and leave the door cracked? Or any special year round maintenance? Or ideal to keep running year round. Just thinking energy’s cost
That is correct - only use it when ya need it, clean up and keep the door cracked when not in use!
@@ElkShape thanks!
@@ElkShape where do you get more info on building a cooler like that! I’m ready to go!!
Badass.
Great video! Been doing this for 25 years, grandpa who was an old butcher taught me. Best way to go imho, you control how good your stuff is. “Grind it twice, make it nice” sorry I am taking that one lol.
Right on
Implement bearded butcher blend seasoning with that venison and you will be eating the best of the best
Thank you for this Video, what's the name of you cooler system he used?
Link is in the video description - COOLBOT
@@ElkShape Thank you very much. Also it is saying I won something. Is that true? Thank you again, for your hard work.
It costs $2k for 3 bull elk to get processed? Thats crazy. Its $95-120 in ohio for any size deer.
I'll take some elk meat since your just giving it away.
I just eat and now I'm hungry again... dang it.
Wear you doing a giveaway of any thing
More meat processing videos please
This was a cool video, I’ve been thinking about what to do with my garage. I think I know now. However I need to kill more animals haha
My favorite comment was that it’s not “daddy’s money”.
Sports woman 😀 how inclusive:
Thanks for posting but not too helpful. I’m trying to learn how to butcher an animal. Grinding everything doesn’t teach me much.
