[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 326105, member: 12863"] Buffalo aren't an agressive animal unless one pushes them. The friend was by himself and did not know this. In his case the buffalo did what they will always do given the chance. Lisa and I the day before shot from the edge of the tree line and his buddies did not have a clue where the shot came from. They hung around until Lisa and I walked out towards them about five yards apart yelling and waving our arms. They retreated about 200 yards down the hill and remained in the exact spot the entire time we were butchering. In the case of an animal this large: Instead of quartering we made 6 large pieces. severing the quarts from the spine then cutting through the backbone behind the shoulder for another piece. Just the brisket.neck through the hump weighed 200 pounds as the 6th piece. 4 of us split the meat equaling about 200 meals each. For Lisa and I, 1 pound is two meals or something less than 400 meals with cookouts and what not. The Liver weighed 16 pounds and I just gave 4 needy families most of that after I soaked it in milk. The heart weighed 5 pounds alone and that stayed here. Everything is edible from the hocks to the top of the hump in the back. The hump alone weighed 75 pounds and will be made into burger. Organizing meat: SOmething this large must have all muscles separated independantly to get down to reasonable sized steaks or roasts with bone left in. If one were to make one bandsawed sized steak with a first cut on a hind quarter it would be a steak 18" X 24" and 1/2 thick it would weigh about 5 pounds. We vacuum seal and next September we will give whatever is left to the needy and go get another. Neal [/QUOTE]
