So, son is in New Mexico. He killed a nice 5x6 bull today in Carson National Park. It’s cut up. They hauled out tenderloins and backstraps today and will be going back for rest of it tomorrow.
Question — what is best way to deal with it once he has it out? The guide apparently had no suggestions. Does he find a processor in Santa Fe to bone it out, pack and freeze it until they leave? There are four hunters. This was first day of hunt, so they’ll be there til Wed. or everyone gets their bull. Two guys drove out in a truck. They have coolers.
Advice would be appreciated, including suggestions for a place to take it.
Thanks.

Classifieds may be the wrong place to look for advice…

Green valley meat dies only wild game . I have used them for years. He will have to drive 1 hr south of Santa Fe . Green valley does vaccum packing . Well worth it . I don’t know his route home but he could pic it up in his way out . I’ll send you a pm with their number

Easiest would be to find a local processor if temps will be too high to hang in camp for the remainder of the season.

I know this is the wrong place, but I also know the classified gets the most eyes looking and we’re kind of short on time. My apologies.

Prefer not to debone until it’s hung for a week.

Throw it whole in an ice chest packed with ice and leave the drain plug open.

This probably shouldn't be an afterthought but rather something researched before the hunt.

Get it to a butcher and take it home cut, wrapped, and frozen.

Not much help this time but if he goes again a freezer and generator. New Mexico can be warm.

We always hauled freezers. Find a butcher shop and just get it cut and wrapped. Congrats on the Elk.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

If there is a meat locker locally to hang there, then they can take it home.

You should probably just ship it up to me and save all the hassle. I’ll cover the freight. Seems like the right thing to do.

Carson National forest is pretty big, but if they are close to Espanola, they can try Valley Game Processing 505 753 4749

Why would you not think about that before the hunt?

Good lord, maybe he thought his guide would do his [bleep] job.
