Deer processing

[Blackdog]

So I took in 4 rear quarters, 4 shoulders
4 back straps, and 4 tenderloins down to a processor I ve never used before. Basically 2 full mature does. Besides stew meat I kept and fed that dogs. Just wanted jerky and summer sausage made, just picked it up today. Dropped it off the Nov 1st. Only received back 10lbs of jerkey and 10lbs of summer sausage.. paid 345 total.. dude charged me 50 a piece to bone it out and then processing on top of that. Stay away from Smoking Patz in Isabella Oklahoma
Also today his processing area when I picked it up had to been like 70 degrees. Way warmer than outside, had a heater going I believe. You all think that price is crazy or just me?

Takes quite a bit of meat to make 10# of jerky. But yes $50 to bone a deer out is crazy as it only takes a couple minutes once the hide is off.

It was already skinned and quartered, that's what gets me.

You took it to the processor…….he took you to the cleaners!!!

In my books that’s a little too expensive. But my wife helps me process mine. We’ve been doing our own for the last 11 years so I’m not really sure how much it would cost today but that sounds a little over priced. Good luck finding a new processor.

Our lease bought a slicer, grinder, and stuffer. We make our own jerky and sausage now. It's pretty easy and pays for itself the first year. This was the last batch we made from just the rear quarters of a doe.

The processor you used is charging the "I'll never take another to him" price. Hard to get repeat business when you skin someone and they know it.

I have no idea what a processor charges (I do my own) but that sounds way high.

I think you just made his Christmas. That's ridiculous!

That’s ridiculous! That’s why I started processing my own. Sorry that happened to you.

Never had that issue. Never took a deer there.
