The sucker was a big one. There was about 500 lbs of meat to deal with. I butchered while he ground. The problem was that all the meat looks the same when it's as lean as elk. There is probably less than 5% fat on the animal. And it wasn't gamey at all.
So most of it got ground or cut into stew meat. And some of the grind got made into spicy Italian-esque sausage. There were a few steaks cut, and a few pot roasts wrapped. For lunch we had a barbarian platter of choicest cuts, and then got back to the sausage making. It was a mess, and not the preferred cold conditions. I joked that he probably wished he'd never shot the thing. Which, btw, took him 2 days of tracking. He slept out in the open on the ground, and had only a fun-size kit-kat bar as food, since he never planned on going in that deep. I saw some of the video, and he went nuts, like a soldier in the jungle.
This is what he shot:
