A successful hunt doesn’t end with the harvest - it continues with how you handle your game in the field. Proper field dressing is crucial not only for preserving the quality of the meat but also for ensuring safety and respect for the animal.
At Elkwood, we teach our members that good field dressing starts with preparation. Always carry sharp knives, gloves, and clean bags before heading out. Work quickly but carefully, keeping your tools and workspace as clean as possible. Avoid puncturing internal organs, as this can spoil the meat, and always cool your game promptly to maintain freshness.
