Here in GA I don’t think I’ve ever seen one field dressed at the processor. He charges ten bucks to skin and gut so usually I’ll let him handle it if I can get it right to him

Not all but you need to pay a little higher price and your research.Originally posted by Walker View PostComment

Like said above, I’d guess half if not more, hunters don’t even field dress their own deer. We sell day hunts for does and spikes during doe season, we started charging to gut and skin and quarter deer because most people had no idea what to do and we got tired of doing it all for free.
Not to hijack the thread, but something else that seems odd to me is a lot processors won’t take an animal that has already been skinned and quartered?Comment

Even if it were free I would still be embarrassed to show up at a processor with a non field dressed deer.Originally posted by Jcjohnson View PostComment

i used to be one of those people that dropped deer off not gutted. I was younge and my dad did not know how to do but the processor was only 5 min from where we hunted. But i kinda just watched them do it and then started doing it my self and now i dont even gut the deer anymoreComment

Man, I see that and wonder how that meat is going to taste. Maybe soaking it in ice water for a week would help after that
But it amazes me how many kill them then load them on the truck, at, Utv and drive back to the camp or ranch house before they gut them. We either quarter them were they fall, or find a tree a short ways away strap them up and quarter them there. But heck we always have them broken down within minutes of recovering them, warped in game bags and in a cooler with frozen milk jugs. My dad would not have let me hunt if I treated them that way. Seriously it would have ended my hunting if he seen us do that.

I know and why I said I don't like processors. But that was the first time I ever had one actually admit it. A friend is a police officer and he helped this guy once with a violent customer. We all got free cuts after that, including jerky, sausage, etc. But even being free I did my own after that.Originally posted by Walker View PostComment

Killed a wholleeee lotta deer and haven’t gutted a one.
That being said, it doesn’t go to the processor, either.

Processor does not want to take the chance of the meat spoiling in the icechest. Some people are not the cleanest when quartering a deer..I/E on the ground in the dirt and grass..Comment

NO, THEY ALL DON'T! Jr's in Wharton does YOUR deer and doesn't mix 20 customer's deer into one batch.Originally posted by Walker View PostComment
