for you home proceessors, what do you with the bones and hide when your done? I live in a neighborhood and didn't know if it's alright to be throwing all that junk in the trash
I quarter mine out in the field and go ahead and debone the rear 1/4's right there so all I'm taking home is the meat and the front shoulders and all I have to throw in the garbage is the bone from the front shoulder. I put them in a garbage bag and send them on their way.
CHECKING (TELECHECK)
All harvested animals must be
telechecked through the toll-free, automated
phone-in system by midnight on
the day the animal is recovered, with
the following exceptions and additional
restrictions:
• Bears must be telechecked before the
hunter leaves the department check-in
station.
• Deer and elk must be telechecked before
removing the hide or head.
• Harvested animals must be telechecked
before being transported out of
Kentucky.
Are you telechecking them before you do that?

You will most likely be given a ticket for a cooler full of meat with no confirmation number.
