Big Game Butchery
Having your animal butchered costs hundreds of dollars. And while that does save you the work, you’re also missing out on one of the most exciting parts of the process of hunting your own food - that moment where you decide on what adventures you’d like to take in the kitchen throughout the year. 
 
This event is held at our field kitchen smack during hunting season. We’ll take a recently harvested deer from beginning to end. We’ll bust down an animal, eat together (camp lunch + foraged tea + cocktail on the menu) in camp, share stories, and send you home knowing how to break down your own animal. You'll dine at our giant dining table in the forest and meet a bunch of like minded hunters who you get to share your day with. 
 
This workshop is for:
  • hunters who want to be connected to the full process from scouting to sharing great meals - butchery included
  • hunters who want to save money on butchery (hundreds/animal = thousands pretty darned quick)
  • hunters who butcher their own, but would like to bolster their confidence, and have more ideas on how to break an animal down for the kitchen
 
For the elk and moose hunters: a deer is built similarly enough to provide a solid case study. If you have any questions, just ask - Kevin grew up butchering moose, every year.
