Wild Game Processing Master Class with The Bearded Butchers
Saturday, August 29
9:00 AM to approximately 4:00 PM
Montana Knife Company HQ | Missoula, MT
Watch The Bearded Butchers break down an entire elk from start to finish during an exclusive full day master class at Montana Knife Company.
The Bearded Butchers have become one of the most respected names in meat processing, wild game education, and cooking. This is a rare opportunity to spend an entire day learning directly from them as they demonstrate every step of transforming an elk from the hanging carcass into premium cuts ready for your table.
Whether you're preparing for your first elk season or looking to refine your process after years in the field, you'll gain practical knowledge you can immediately apply to your own harvests.
Throughout the day, the Bearded Butchers will explain not only how they process an elk, but why each cut, technique, and decision matters. You'll have opportunities to ask questions throughout the class and learn the small details that maximize meat quality, improve efficiency, and help you get the most from every animal you harvest.

If you've followed The Bearded Butchers online, this is your opportunity to learn directly from them, ask questions throughout the day, and watch their complete elk processing system in person. Opportunities like this don't come around often, and seating is limited. We expect this event to sell out quickly, so reserve your spot early.
