Charging a process fee for whitetail question

[stx]

While I’m well aware that selling whitetail meat is illegal I was wondering if you can charge a fee to say quarter a deer. So say I have some extra does, could I charge a fee such as $50 to skin and quarter a deer and put in a ice chest. Then give the deer to individuals in the cooler. Was just wondering if that was okay.

Call a game warden.

I'm going to say no, as that would be selling venison.

Sell them a $50 experience where they learn how to clean a deer and get to keep the meat once done

Illegal

The law will look at the intent.

Sell a doe hunt didn't say if they were dead or alive

I'd imagine you can charge to process a deer as long as you follow all the rules the processors have to follow.

Why not charge them $50 to shoot a doe and you can skin and quarter them up for transport?

[captainsling]

I have seen where ranches charge a fee for quartering animals. What's the difference?

It is little late but....if you were not doing this regularly(for a living/advertising) and you would not have broadcast it on a public forum you could have done what you wanted with no issues.

I gave my neighbor a deer, he gave me a bottle of brown spirits.

Print a couple recipes from TBH and sell the page[s] for $50. Give them some free venison to try it out on.

If you shoot a deer and take to processor and they paid for skinning and quartering. Would be same except someone else gets paid to do the work.

I’d give them away whole but nobody wants a whole deer now adays. Everyone wants. It already processed.
