You leave the backstrap??? On an elk that's got to be 10-20 lbs of the best meat on the animal, and you leave it?? When we shoot something too far from transportation we JOKE about ONLY taking the backstrap

And the ribs? There is alot of good burger meat on the ribs. Not a flame, Just haven't ever heard of this strange method.
