Thread: Dealing with a hairy crotch

I really hate dealing with the hair and dirt that sticks to the exposed leg meat. I usually end up just cutting off those exposed dirty hairy bits at home but it is a waste of good meat. When I have several pieces of animal in my pack, each piece has it’s own pillowcase or cheesecloth so the hide of one piece doesn’t taint the exposed meat of another piece. Another solution is to to debone in the field, but that takes a lot of extra time and need to be careful with hygiene. I bring a lot of baby and disinfectant wipes for those trips. Others have already mentioned the cutting technique to reduce amount of hair flying around and that helps.
