My deer I shot the Sat. after Thanksgiving has just finished being processed. They called last night. I knew this place takes a while to get back but wow. I have never taken one to this place and did it cause I have heard such great stuff about it. Obviously nothing great about the time frames but the quality of the cut and process is supposed to be top notch. I can't wait to get a taste of the hot sticks, With a cold wobble pop of course.[:D]

    yeah, that is a while and I thought my butcher was slow. 2 months is the usual time frame for him on anything you bring in.

    I do mine myself.

    My buddies pole barn is set up for it. 2 electric hoists, rolling carts with big bins, electric grinder, knives, etc.

    We call it "Mike's Chop Shop".

    I sharpen the knives and he helps me skin and butcher the deer.

    I'll take the ground in if I want sausage or brats.

    Sounds like the one down south that I use. I hope to do my own this season. When I built the new garage I had processing in mind. My only problem will be early season when its warm if I shoot one down south. If I shoot one at home no problem. OOOhhhhhhhhh I cant wait for season. 6 months 1 day.

    I usually do the first 3 or 4 of the year. Then I start to get burned out. There is a pretty good place right down by my lease that I can take them to. $50 and about 2 weeks.

    I hear ya bang. The smoke house I mentioned has been in business since 1895. They also make their own you name it and it's the best I've ever had. It's an old german smoke house and you know how they love brats ect. [:p]

    Not sure man. I can tell you it is a fairly small place, family ran. And Holy cow this meat is good. I think I'm gonna have to say it was worth the wait. My Jalopena (sp?) and cheese sticks are almost gone.
