He who packs meat, gets meat.
For hunts as a group, we always split it up. Sure, a small animal won't go far split between 4 hunters...but you've got 4x the odds of harvesting one to start with if you're hunting with any sort of strategy.
People who don't understand hunting is a collective effort don't wind up in camp more than once.
That depends. If they "self invited", then they didn't give up any time or assumed any risk at all. If you, the hunter, invited them, then yes, there should be
I'd like to elaborate. I have never found myself in a situation where someone self invites and ends up in camp.That depends.

The best analogy that I'm sure many participants here have considered is the wolf pack. I don't hunt in a pack with rouge wolves.
I don't pay for "processing", So the added expense occurred by paying someone else to care for the harvest isn't a liability concern. I tend to have quality communication about expectations and am genuinely concerned about the safety and well being of anyone invited to camp. If I'm invited, I will address the shared harvest philosophy that I enjoy and/or clearly refuse meat for whatever reason before the hunt.
I respect regional, family and tribal variance as it relates to harvest. I hope you can respect my personal choice in this regard as I've found it to be very good at building relationships and maintaining a few high quality hunting partners. They know what they are getting when sitting on a ridge with me as it relates to harvest. I'm happy for their success and visa versa. Try it, stay focused on another mans success for a minute. You'll get a friend and some food potentially. I also enjoy a flip flop arrangement with my best hunting pard. We go on one year, off another year for challenging hunts, Full split and full support
Happy Harvesting
I never realized hunting could be so complicated.
Or you can go hunting with your crew and have a great time, and not get caught up in penny pinching or counting ounces of meat.hunting is very high-context endeavor. Always has been. Rites, rituals (last bite, blooding) unspoken understandings, codes (e.g. what is fair chase), etc.
This is simply one of those factors.
This right here. I hunt with my buddies and we are all fairly successful in the field. We are all happy to help each other without expecting some kind of payment. I think splitting up meat is fine if you feel like doing it but it's just a totally foreign concept to me.Or you can go hunting with your crew and have a great time, and not get caught up in penny pinching or counting ounces of meat.
Whoever helps cut it up gets some.I'm usually a solo hunter when I have tags in my pockets, but I did a group hunt this weekend with 4 guys where 2 of us were tag holders and 2 were not. I has the only one to fill a tag. It was an antelope so not a ton of meat to go around and I absolutely love antelope. We shared the heart that night and I definitely plan on cooking for the gang at a later date, but I also want to give them some meat too.
If we were splitting the bill at the butcher it'd be an easy answer, but I do all my own processing so I'm wondering: How do you all split up your meat post-hunt?

A lot of how we've handled it has to do with how much meat someone already has in the freezer and how much game they eat.
