Return guest, Mike Edgehouse, is a professor of anatomy and biology at Lewis Clark College, hunter, meat expert, mobile butcher, and founder of the Cutrite Mobile App that should live on every hunters phone. In this episode, Mike and I talk about all the things that happen AFTER you've notched a tag on an elk. You School of September Scholars have a higher chance of putting an elk on the ground, so I thought it prudent to continue the discussion on how to get the most out of your kill. From meat care to butchering to recipes, we go all in on this episode from perhaps one of the most passionate wild game meat experts I've ever had the pleasure to call a friend. DO NOT make the mistake of not getting the Cutrite Mobile App. It will walk you through all the steps to honor your kill and pack your freezer with the healthiest meat on the planet. Get it HERE.
