Processing small game is faster and easier than processing a large animal and requires less energy to transfer the meat back to camp from the area of kill or capture.

The main reason for concentrating on small game, though, readers, is that many times it can be consumed in one setting, leaving some leftovers for bait.

To process and cook or preserve large game is a time-consuming and sometimes tedious undertaking. In areas where predatory animals are present, having large amounts of meat, blood, or carcasses in your camp area can be very dangerous.

Processing small game is a very easy task for the most part and can be accomplished by anyone with minimal skill or practice.
