It’s always been that way here in Texas. What are the laws in other states??
Here you can bone out the meat, but at least one piece needs to have evidence of sex, naturally attached.
Comes in handy when you need to pack out a large animal like an elk. In AK you can bone it out too.
Read carefully before boning meat in AK, many units are bone in salvage required.
And to the OP, sorry you got a ticket. Seems like anyone who isn’t a dumbass could see what you were trying to accomplish and gave you the okay. But some guys are just dickheads, seems like a large percentage of game wardens fall into this group.
