How far before going boneless?

Always bone out unless you can drive to it. There's zero cons. Then when you get home it's all ready to trim and wrap. No point in packing bones.

Con: No bones for my dogs to enjoy.

somewhat a newbie to the western game (3 years) i do however help a buddy whose a butcher so work up 40-60 deer a year. saying that our group of 3 has taken 5 elk in those 3 trips all made it to the truck boned out. probably takes another 20-30 minutes at the kill site but we’ll worth it in my eyes. eventually you have to bone them anyway why carry the weight?

having said that i can see the benefits of leaving the quarters boned in in certain situations.

btw 3 healthy guys can carry out a boned out elk in 1 trip without too much struggle
 
Am I the only one that makes elk bone broth here?
I've been meaning to try it but then my dogs give me that look when I'm processing and I always cave.

I drink bone broth daily but I've never made my own.
