Question: Paying for a deer you didn't shoot

[paddling_man]

I see. Up to late with squinty eyes to pick up on that. Must be slow tonight.

I'm feelin' you on the whole "squinty eyes" thing, brother. I need to hit the sack!

Man, is the guy bad off that he could scrape together money to get his meat? Maybe donate some meat to him if he is that bad off..you can be his hunter feeding the homeless

The butcher here in Hamilton will only hold processed venison for a set number of days and if unclaimed donates the meat to Hunters feeding the Hungery. I get my deer cut and wrapped (vacuum packed) at a butcher shop in Grabill that only charges $55 - $65 and then make my own sumer sausage. If you get sausage made then the venison is batched with other deer when ground and mixed.

I know this is an old thread but most butchers will let you pay the processing on the unclaimed deer. I just picked one up monday.

yep, would have been a shame to waste that meat. especially the sausage!!
