This may be a stupid question but, are the ribs considered by law an edible portion of the animal? It would appear that according to the hunting synopsis they are not. It mentions the loins and the four quarters but not the rib cage, or is the rib cage part of the four quarters. I know alot of hunters debone their animal before packing it out, do you take the meat from in between the ribs or just the big stuff? Thanks, I,ve copied what the regs say below.
It is unlawful:
to kill wildlife (with the exception of
grizzly bear, cougar or a fur bearing
animal other than a black bear) and fail
to remove from the carcass the edible
portions of the four quarters and loins
to the person’s normal dwelling place or
to a meat cutter or the owner or
operator of a cold storage plant.A
person who kills wildlife is exempted
from the requirement to remove the
edible portions if that person transfers
possession of the wildlife to a recipient
who complies with the requirement.
Edible portions do not include meat that
has been damaged and made inedible by
the method of taking. Of grizzly bear,
cougar or a furbearing animal other than
a black bear, the hide must be removed
to the person’s normal dwelling place or
to a meat cutter, the owner or operator
of a cold storage plant or to a
taxidermist, tanner or a fur trader.A
person who kills wildlife is exempted
from the requirement to remove the
hide if that person transfers possession
of the wildlife to another person who
complies with the requirement.
