I can't imagine trying to deal with a mammoth. Especially with only stone cutting tools.
The only thing I can think of would be luring one near a winter camp and killing it nearby, when it would be cold enough to keep or freeze.
Even if you could butcher the several tons of meat and get it dried or smoked in time, transport and storage would be huge problems.
It's enough of an ordeal to process a moose, with modern tools and machinery.

The only reason we don't use this in modern times is that the blades break apart over the long term.
