I think it's funny when we're hunting we always whisper but after we shoot something we continue to whisper. We only stop whispering when the pack out begins. Awesome experience. Congratulations. Mother nature is feeding you for another year.

Your wife and you are raising strong, independent children who can stand on their own. Well done, maybe there is hope for Canada.

I'm 60 years old and I have always butchered my game. Even as a child! My brothers and I would go out hunting, bring home whatever we harvested and then butcher and clean it. Momma said if we kill and clean it, she would cook it! So, we did!

I have a background in meat cutting. I have been processing my own deer and moose for over 50 years. You are right in following the seams when you are unsure of the proper process.

😃 Julia Off Road Recovery! great team and Abigail did great camera work on the shot too. Congrats on your moose adventure.

What a strong family this is how we all should live Jeff and rose your the best from one parent to another you have done a super job on everything I have watched as your children grew up my family loves your family never miss a episode thanks to you all so Abby and Christina and Julia and kessia sorry sweetheart on spelling young ladies you are very special because of what you know now the world has watched believe it or not your heros to a lot of young ladies bless you girls can't wait to see your next adventure keep them going Jeff and rose my favorite utub channel thanks 🙏

That's exactly how I process meat. Super clean. No fat and no muscle casings. You can fillet the muscle casings off just like skinning a fish. Nicely done.

Looks like you're doing everything perfectly to me,I've always cut up my own meat,growing up we were too poor to take it to a butcher so we learned how to butcher everything,keep doing what you're doing.

My dad was a hunter, fisherman all his life and I learned how to prepare them as a young lad. We basically did everything you are doing but didnt call it off grid. Nice moose. You are doing what people did years ago when I was young and before that. This type of living is becoming new fashion again. Keep up the good work and videos.

I'm to old to hunt anymore. but when my wife and I used to hunt, we ALWAYS cut our own meat. And, like you, we did not have any kind of training. We did just like you. and all the little pieces we packaged as stir fry, because we didn't have a grinder to make burger. Congrats on both moose! that was a hunt that I always wanted to do. but I could never afford it. We did not have moose in Michigan then. and what we have now is far to few to hunt. maybe my grand kids will be able to some day.

Congrats on the Moose! Earlier this fall I harvested my first elk on a solo hunt; he was a 5 X 5 bull - certainly a trophy to me! Once he was down, I kinda just had to deal with it and learn as I was going through the motions... Elk are way bigger than I expected. For field dressing I performed the "gutless" method, then once I removed all 4 quarters and the backstraps, I placed the meat in the snow to cool and I went in for the tenderloins since it would be criminal to leave those behind. I was 5 km from the nearest road, and loading him out on my back was one of the hardest physical challenges I've ever had! On the first load I took the tenderloins, the backstraps, and the head. I was knackered after that so I went back the next day with a friend and we took out all 4 quarters in one trip. I took both hind quarters and my friend took both front quarters - it was a mission, to say the least. (My friend got a bunch of meat in exchange for the favour, and I guided him into his first WT buck a couple weeks later.) It seems like everyone has a different opinion on how long to hang the meat for, but I hung my elk for a little over a week then got started on butchering just as you suggested; following the seams and learning by doing. The meat has been delicious! It definitely benefitted from aging for a while since I would test out little samples throughout the process. I also decided to grind my off-cuts 80:20 with pork fat that I got from one of my local butcher shops. This was following advice from Hank Shaw in one of his books, and I think it was a good choice since the ground meat has also been amazing and the elk on its own is insanely lean! Hopefully my experience benefits anyone who reads this comment. Cheers!

Been butchering my own animals for as long as I've been hunting. So I do know a little bit about it now, and you pretty much summed up all the important parts. You can get into identifying different muscle groups and choosing the better ones for steak and the tougher ones for ground meat or stew meat, but honestly you can get a decent steak off almost any part of an animal if you treat the meat right. Best advice I can offer, get the animal quartered and then let it hang in a cool place for a day or two. This allows the muscles to go through rigor mortis and relax again, which should make your steaks more tender.

Years and years ago I cut up many deers, one elk with help and helped with the processer cut a moose my brother and dad bagged!! Those were the days!! I could just taste that tenderloin!! Congrats on the hunt!! By the way I'm an old country girl, born and raised mostly off grid!!

I've cut up my own game since I was a young'un. And... I've always done it just the way you are doing it. No need for fancy butcher cuts. I've enjoyed many a venison dinner that didn't come from any butcher. Who says there's a right and a wrong way to begin with? If there's a right way to do it, it is these 3 steps: field -- table -- tummy. Simple, delicious, and nutritious.

Just give it to Julia. She fixes mistakes. So happy you have two moose this season. My favorite tasting wild meat. That’s how you lower your food expenses for the year. I also love those Barnes copper only bullets, worth the money.

I learned how to cut meat when I was in my 20s, 50 years ago! And that's the way I was taught! You have it down pat!! That's going to be the most tender moose meat you've ever eaten!! I've cut up beef, pigs, deer, and elk! The most tender elk I've ever eaten was a spike! bull!

I learned to cut my own meat when I was 14 and have always enjoyed knowing what I am eating. Now I'm learning how to make snack Stix and sausage. Love videos and enjoy seeing your family adventures. Your hunting terrain reminds me of here in alaska.

So nice to have vehicle access to get the critter home or to camp. We were unsuccessful on our LEH this year, but in the past have harvested moose & elk. The moose was close to the FSR so while the boys field dressed & quartered it I went back to camp to get my Tacoma. Although we could have hauled the quarters with quads, it may have taken more than one trip that way. He was called in very close & also took 3 shots to put down. Bigger than the one in your vid, 3 of us strained to get each quarter into the truck bed. The elk was a little deeper in the timber but we managed to haul it to the FSR by quad. We gutted it & cleared a trail through the woods to haul it out whole. Rope around the antlers, a few tricky spots where we had to winch the quad. Threw it on my little utility trailer to haul back to camp, then skinned & quartered. Other than quartering we didn't do any cutting as we were able to get both animals to good meat cutting facilities. The elk was among the tastiest wild meat I've ever had the privilege to consume. It was an Island hunt & the meat cutter hung it for 2 weeks in his facility before processing.

Amazing " little " moose! ☺ Great to see and hear the hunt! I was particularly moved by the obvious respect and genuine affection your daughter showed when handling the animal, appreciating the fur and structure! Great cow call too dad! ☺

Awesome job guys!!! I was a meat cutter for 16yrs. I process my own deer & I just seam it out just like you did!!! Awesome goodness in the freezer!!!

Love y'alls hunting videos. Awesome seeing folks cut their own meat. Started doing it myself (pretty much just as you described) and have saved myself thousands over the years. Nice work Jeff & gals!

What a bonding moment!! This is so special! I love the relationship you have with your daughters. You are a great man! Congratulations!

I have been watching you and your girls for some time now and it’s great to see them learning the basic necessity to life. What you and Rose have taught your girls will live on in the generation to come!!

Love how you get the whole family involved. I’ve always believed in processing my own animals from hunting to make the most out of each one and now am getting my daughter involved.

Yes, we do processes our own meat. We were successful on an elk hunt this year in Nevada USA. It is the best way to have meat. Thank you for sharing this video. 🦌

Awesome job team 👏 I've not done any large game but plenty of pigs, sheep and goats. They bone out the same,,, take the muscle off clean, then cross cut into your desired size. Well done 👍👍👍

We always cut our own every hunting season that way you know what you have been doing it for 50 years now and I'm still hunting at 76 years old . Thanks guys keep them coming Love them

as I said before jeff you and rose are role model's on how to raise children y'all teaching those gal's how to survive not depending on fast food or needing someone to show them survival when they get older because y'all will have done instilled in them every thing they will need to know...and as I said before this is in my opinion how the living God designed how family ought to be loving, joyful, peaceful and a mother and father teaching there children to live off of the land not destoy it.....from WASHINGTON INDIANA U.S.A.....may God bless And breath his favor on y'all.....God bless you guy's...in JESUS NAME lord protect this family amen

I have since I was 12 been cutting up our venison, and elk.....nothing like it you always end up with what you want ....in the cuts of meat......more power to you and your family.....the teaching g of these type of skills will serve all of you for a life time.....I just turned 70....still remember how to do it....though I wish I would have had a bobcat to carry the meat back to camp.!

I live in Michigan in the US and I’ve been cutting my own deer for 5 years and I love the process from harvesting to the freezer

I'm sitting here on the edge of my seat. He lines up his shot as the young bull steps out from behind the tree 🎄 the sound of the shot, and then. "THIS WEEK AT THE REAL CANADIAN SUPERSTORE". Damn I hate commercials 😂. Congrats on the moose. My mouth was watering as you cut it up. Back in my youth we always had a frying pan going while we cut and wrapped. Yummy 😋.

Agree totally with the butchery advice that's how I started I had basic instruction from books and the internet but suddenly I had a whole deer to deal with. I did just that separated out the muscle groups cut a small sample piece from each lump of meat quickly fried it if it was tender steak I cut that muscle into steak if it was a bit tough I minced it which is better than steak anyway. Quickly I found the backsteaks and fillet but there's allot more good steak too. That was allot more than a few summers ago I do it pretty well now.

Now there’s a coincidence. I literally just finished cutting up a blacktail, sat down for a cup of coffee, and there you are. BTW, I process the hindquarters the same way.

Greetings from the land of Blaze King. Congratulations on both the moose and where it was shot - that's definitely the way to do it. We've been cutting game for family and friends since '89. We do it all boneless so all the equipment required is cutting boards, knives, a good butcher paper dispenser, tape dispenser and sharpies. If you don't cut up the chunks into steaks it gives more options when you cook and it doesn't freezer burn as quickly. Oh - have been using monometal bullets for 20 years too - GMX,TSX, TTSX - all good stuff.

Indeed I do cut my own meat. I have learned by watching others much better at it than I am. Have learned lots about processing meat from the Bearded Butchers on KZfaq. You are right Jeff, just find the muscle groups and pull it apart. I practice by buying large butt ends of pork, which you can get at a very reasonable price. When it comes to major joints, just cut around tendons and use leverage to break them apart. Why would anyone pay 3$ a pound to have their animal process when with a little education you can do it yourself.

Congratulations on harvesting some of the best meat there is! Edit: The piece that Julia chopped up is called "rulle" over here, directly translated into the "roll". It is seldom tender and therefore best used in a stew, but occasionally it can be surprisingly tender.

Living in Tasmania no moose here but do harvest wallaby (think small kangaroo) for the freezer alot easier carcass to deal with but cutting up meat is still the same , With all the doom and gloom in the world its great to watch your family grow, To help remember the good that is still out there.

Awesome. Congrats Jeff on a nice tender moose. Just filled my muzzle loader elk tag here in Arizona with a tender 3x4. In the process of butchering the meat as well. Love watching you and the girls adventures.

Hahah I just did this today! First time doing a full deer. Grilled some back straps tonight and my 3 and 8 year old ate every bite! Such an amazing human experience

Awesome hunt, Cool cat is the cat's meow for sure. Deer is nothing compared to the size of the moose. I can only imagine how difficult it is to quarter, pack and take home a moose.I'll do the same with my tractor with hydraulically activated boom pole and additional remote controlled electric winch. The difference is , I never have to go more than 200 to 300 meters from my backyard. I had 2 down and 3 more to go in my area .I do all the butchering myself. A 140 lb deer yields me about 55 to 60 lbs of solid clean meat and our pooches get all the scraps, ribs and backbone. Great work Burkinshaws. You guys rock as always.👏

You cut up critters the same way my family always has, you just kinda take em apart! Well done!

Great video. Love the way the whole family pitches in. You are a helluva lucky man to have a great family like this. Take care and God bless.

You were so clean through on the first shot, he didnt even know he was dead!

We’ve cut up a moose and 3 caribou on our kitchen table! It’s so nice to harvest clean meat.

I'm not sure where Tipper Creek is exactly ; but I'm convinced it's somewhere near heaven ! I even hear David Crowder occasionally . Be blessed Jeff ; thank you for sharing your adventures.

Well,, I am 58 years old in a month,, been hunting for about 48 years of that. And I still cut meat like you did. The quickest way to get it from bone to dinner plate. ..Just get the meat bled out and cool as quickly as possible after it hits the ground. That is the key.. You have a beautiful family young man,, well done to you all !

I picked up a little road kill doe this season. She skinned very easily and every part of her was tender. Got about 20 lbs of meat for an afternoon of butchery. SO worth it!

Wow, able to process at home with garden hose and toolcat. Way way easier than your usual moose hunt! Good job folks. Stay safe.

Awesome my son and i filled our leh for two bulls in the same day you guys did a great job cutting !!

Thank you and your family so much for helping educate no just Canadian's. Americans, but people all over the world, if they ever need to survive a failure of governments they will at least still be able to feed their family and friends, so thank you from Scotland.

That was a great hunt cause you got a nice young moose, but it was made even better cause you had one of your girls with you! I miss hunting with my daughters. I usually process my own deer unless I'm really pressed for time. I raise Painted Desert sheep, and will process one of them every now and then. You can save some money by doing it yourself, but it also lets you make all the cuts exactly how YOU want them to be made and packaged. It's some work, but it's worth it. Thanks for taking us along!

I would never complain if you made 30 mint videos or longer, I could just hang with you all day. as long as you didn't put the camera right in my face, no close ups at my age.

Good eating off that moose! Great guiding👍 Moose retrieval expert! Nice shooting👍 The best family show on Utube: basic home values pays off…. Amazing girls👍 Thank you!!! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Living the life God intended 🙏 yall are awesome 👌👏

I have cut my own meat since my first deer at the age of 11 with the help of my father. Over the years I have cut at least 50 large animals plus perhaps a thousand birds. I just have picked up information from others. Now it is possible to learn butchering skills from KZfaq. I like to hang my meat for 3 days to a week depending on outside temps.

Poor Little Moose , Taken young at the Prime eating stage!!!! Congratulations.

Cut meat for a living for 30 years, Dad was a master butcher migrated to the US in 1952 from Europe . Hunting season was busy . Processing whitetail deer in illinois

I always love your channel. You are doing a great job with your family. Yes, I cut up my own animals. We grind nothing, but eat everything. Just had the last of last years venison yesterday. getting ready to add something more to the freezer this weekend. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!

Hello! Namaste from Nepal I have been watching your channel since years. It’s so amazing, and beautiful family living with the nature away from cities life. So, every time , I get more inspired and motivates to live , surrounded by natural adventure. Thank You so much

Great Hunt. I butcher my own deer. When I showed my friend how to butcher 2 years ago. He asked how to cut it up. I told him, just start cutting, there is no right way or wrong way when your processing your own deer. Plus we save a bunch of money. From Minnesota.

Those Barnes TSX are great bullets, hunted with them in my 7Mag for a few years. Nice little moose you guys got, great job. I cut up my on meat, learned it form my grand parents and I'm teaching it to my daughters.

Moose, and elk are my "only in my dreams" hunts. I do, and have cleaned, and butchered my own white tails since I was 12 My dad's cousin (game butcher), showed me. Was hooked, plan to teach my niece when my brother thinks she's trustworthy with a knife.

Man that's awesome! New subscriber, love the content.

Moose is still on my bucket list for my husband. We sure love it when he gets an elk, we eat like royalty for a whole year. The Best Organic Meat money can buy! Great job!

Yes, we grow and butcher our own meat, as well as hunt and butcher. We farm and have butchered pretty much every farm animal including goose and other poultry. As long as a person is organized and has the supplies they need, it's not all that difficult. Time consuming and tiring but not super difficult. Good for you, getting that Moose, I'm sure it will go a log way towards feeding your family this year.

Excellent work raising your girls Bro. This was excellent calling and hunting, moose is dead 8 minutes in. He uses a bob cat to take the moose home whole, no field dress but does not show a gutless cleaning at home? He does use my method of separating muscle groups, that I got from Johnny. He does not show the tedious work of trimming the silver skin off of the muscles either. Nice steaks have zero silver skin attached. Sharp knives are required. The whole family was proud of another YOUNG, TENDER moose. This is a brand new upload so there my be more video to come?

I've butchered everything from rabbits to elk, they all basically come apart the same way. What you are not saying that you could have, is that when you trim it up, you are trimming off what is called silver skin, if you don't it is really tough. Trim it off and just separate the muscle groups and slice into steaks or roasts, stew meat or grind it up for burger. Great video and congrats on the great harvest.

That was a nice moose. Someday I hope I can get the chance to get one of my own. I processes my own game big or small and have done it for friends too. I enjoy it.

Awesome guys ,great job!! The life skills that are been shared in your family are so cool ,priceless!! That meat looks amazing !!! All the best from south east Ireland,as always

Great hunt! We have always butchered our own deer, and many years ago we also did beef. Those steaks look phenomenal.

We have been cutting up our own deer for years. We do it exactly like you do. One addition: pack all the little scraps in freezer cartons. For making chili, partially thaw a carton of scraps and slice it. Brown the small pieces that result. It's far better than ground meat in chili.

What a great hunt, so close to home. "Tasty little bull moose ", you called him in like a pro. I have been butchering my own deer but here in Australia the temperature is a lot hotter so I invested in a band saw, so I just quarter the animal then freeze and use the saw and steak everything bone in. Like how you guys all pitch in and process the animal, my daughters only enjoy the eating.

Another great vid! It may be worth looking into ear pro. I have tinnitus and only ever shot without ear pro when hunting. Now we have lots of good electronic ear pro that you can wear all day and still hear whats going on.

I had 4 kids with my wife when I was stationed in Germany. 2 Boys, 2 Girls. We dragged them all over Europe for 7 years and by the time we came home in 2002 (I had been gone since 1986) we didn't know the place. She was from Poland and hated it here. We left California and moved to a small town until the girls and eventually both boys all joined the Marines. They became hard and lean NCOs immune to excuses. Even the girls are in A/A Battalions. They are also hilarious alcoholics. It was a long journey. Then I watched a few of these videos on here and thought ; Wait a damn second. We only had to move to Canada??? These girls ARE the West as it was supposed to be. You all make "Hard" look "Easy". Great channel

A family I hunted with back when I was a teenager processed their own whitetails. Learned from them and have done so ever since. Nothing formal, just turning a whole deer into many smaller pieces.

Good job guys👍 I have been cutting our meat like that for ever works for me

Awesome to get that moose so close to home and loved that you used the forks and four wheeler to take it home. Multy tool for sure!

Realy enjoy your videos have watched a few you have an amazing family in how they chip in to help with everything keep up the good work

A lot of moose this year, congrats. It would be happy winter

Thanks for the tutorial, I'll keep it in mind when I start hunting, or growing my own.

I workedcas a meat cutter/butcher many years ago, and you basically nailed it, just a matter of separating the muscle groups as you did, there are many different cuts at the retail level, but basically there are only about 4 off a hind and front, you can be creative and exotic, lol but it's just meat! Cheers

We've been processing Whitetail deer here in Kentucky (my Dad started hunting in1968) we had as many as 12 deer hanging in the barn, We would have a processing party with fellow hunters and family, Avg Whitetail deer, field dressed 150 pounds, Love your videos

Julie is great. I love her the way she doing everything

Jeff, isn't it amazing what you learn by doing it your self, Plus farm girls helping process..I've been doing the separate muscle mass and debone process on my game meat for 50 years.. My favorite is Elk tender loin from a young bill.. some day i hope to tag a moose in Washington St. I need to come up for a visit ...

Cutting meat is an art. I've been working on a Top Sirloin Beef Jerky recipe on and off for a couple years now once I got my electric meat slicer I've been able to perfect my thickness and with fourteen different ingredients for my marinade, well the point is you asked about the slicing specifically I get the best results by freezing four to eight pound units for four to six hours depending on the size of the units and my best results seem to be slicing with the grain. I cook my marinade and soak the Sirloin warm for two hours and then refrigerate for another fifteen, smoke and I end up with approximately three by six inches of wicked good Jerky. God is Good.....smile....

Didn’t get a moose this year. Just got a white tail buck on Wednesday. We cut up all our meat. Built a shed from pallets this spring just for the purpose.

It always feels the greatest to harvest and butcher your own animal. You receive a lot of knowledge on doing it yourself. Congratulations to you👍 Enjoy. You need to do a cooking video with the moose now.

We finished totally cutting a whitetail buck on Saturday. From hanging to freezer. My dad is a meat cutter and taught us growing up. The process is always a great time and the end product is something you can be proud of! Great job Jeff and family!

Nice little harvest and breaking down of the animal. Looked like a really clean production line to me. Pull the muscle groups away like you did I’ve found to be best too, like dismantling an old wooden chair…..

great camera work on the moose 👍

Awesome love the clips when you are hunting with the girls, yep nothing like processing your own kills we do it here in New Zealand with Sika deer, don't need a Bobcat to carry them lol they only weigh on average 40- 60 kilo's, well done enjoy the steaks.

From Australia: Thanks for another great video. I only use Barnes for hunting and I cut my deer up the same way. They say that great minds think alike but would hate to bring you down to my level.

Cutting up your own meat is the only way to go. Might take a few to learn the skill but so rewarding. Nice moose, congratulations!

Hi I usually just cut everything into roasts this way if you want roast voila ..if you want steaks cut em up. Also cuts down on freezer burn due to less cut surface area....and it goes alot faster...enjoy

U guys are great, 💯👀Another Awesome Video. Moose is perfect size for your family to enjoy,

Nice job. Pack that freezer. You make hauling moose with bobcat forklift look so easy. Thanks to your Hunting Guide 👍

Well this was an easy recovery ! _Looks like you got some good helpers!_

Been cutting my own meat for 40 plus years not knowing a damn thing other then a sharp knife is a must and a Julia or 2 to help would be nice. Nice work Abigail you could be my guide any day !

Great video. It's great your whole family takes part in the hunt. It looks like you butcher your moose the same way I butcher deer. Separate the muscles, remove silver skin and cut into steaks.

Well done once again!! I have harvested moose on my land 6 of the past 7 years and we butcher as a family as well...
