Hunters code

We don't split deer as a rule, but if someone wants extra meat(or has a good home for it) he'll probably get as many whole carcasses as he can handle.

Moose and elk are often split between the party.
 
Where I hunt if you participate in the hunt you share equally in the meat, regardless of whether or not you shot the deer or were there to help drag etc. Everyone helps butcher at the end of the week. However, I agree it should be decided up front versus assuming the animal will be shared.
 
Looks like I might have to give some of my meat up for getting a hand, because this is my first year going out and I know I will need some help gutting and maybe cutting it up since I dont know what Im doing. :)

Anyone know of any places around Regina that I can pay someone to cut it up for me?
 
We don`t share meat as a rule, it just goes without saying that you will help.
The fact that I`m the guy with the trucks with winches on gets me a few calls too.
I`m pretty particular about my meat from the grazing to the plate, a lot can happen to ruin a perfectly good animal in this time. Uber-magnums that destroy whole quarters, animals shot hot ( after a big run), inexperienced field dressers.
As I said, my querks, though.
 
Even shares for all participants is typically how things are done. Last few years I've been able to out hunt my ability to eat and have tried to split things up more based on need.
Everyone knowing what the arrangement is ahead of time is essential.
 
So, if your friend (hunting partner) meets his girlfriend in a bar when you are there, do you expect to share in the action?????
Friends do what they can to help without expectation of payment but also look for the same in return.
cheers
 
If i helped a buddy pull out a deer/moose/cthulu out of the bush, help clean/skin it, i wouldn't really be expecting anything from him other than maybe: Here's a case of beer and a bottle of Vodka, help me drink em, would you? And i would help him drink them. Right down until we're passed out on the floor of the garage covered in cthulu blood snoring up a storm. Then when his wife wakes us up in the morning with a kick to the ribs, i'd expect to be able to use the shower to wash off the blood and maybe a cup of coffee while getting frosty stares across the breakfast nook from his wife. I might even stare a little too long at her boobies through her see trough pajama top but my buddy would be ok with that since i gave him a hand and who can resist awesome boobage?

Anyway, that's how we do it around here. YMMV.
 
We always split big game evenly among all hunters in the group who were there, and sometimes even include someone who wasn't there for a "good" reason like sickness or whatever. Just makes sense to us - everything else like the gas, lodging, meals, beer, cost of butchering, etc is split evenly, so why not the meat. The shooter gets to keep the head and/or antlers if he wishes.
That being said, from the above other methods of splitting or not splitting also work - we just never did anything different and everyone seems OK with it.
 
For those of you who share, I feel like I was there with you. I'm still waiting for my backstraps.... Isn't this the EI of hunting? Do you need to submit proof that you were actively searching for deer to receive benefits? Kidding...

In all seriousness, I've never expected (nor received) anything for helping somebody out. I gave up half of this season's doe to a new hunter (sitting with me at the harvest): certainly NOT out of obligation, but in the hopes that my cherished activity would be passed on to the young guy.

Whats wrong with just helping out a buddy for the sake of helping. I've helped drag out animals for nothing lots of times. Then when i need help they help me no questions asked.

I belong to this group.
 
I am a generous person by nature. I was taught to share what you have, & it will come back to you when you need it the most. Like Andy said; find out in advance what the group policies are for sharing if you hunt in a group.

I have never split a carcass. In alberta we get three deer per person (1 buck, 2 doe or just 3 doe), so if im with someone its more so of taking turns shooting them. If it's a longer trip come dinner time the back straps genraly get eaten by all though.

Never been to Winnipeg I see.... Lol


I always offer to share when hunting with others and never expect anything for helping folks out.
 
I have never hunted with anyone not willing to share. If I ever run into this circumstance, You can bet I won't be inviting them out with me again. The 50/50 thing is a little overkill in my opinion. Obviously the person who pulls the trigger should get the majority of the meat.
 
It's whatever gets agreed upon first. I've rarely shared deer. Moose is often shared. I have helped carry out deer, butchered and wrapped it without expecting anything. It's what buddies do.
