Deer processing

[cbd10pt]

I'm in the wrong business!
I took care of the back straps and tenderloins myself
2 quarter deer, sausage meat sticks and some hamburger
$440.00
Stanton's in Alvin has a reputation for turning out a fine product, but DANG.

Sure makes it easier to pass young bucks lol

Dang...a good commercial 1/2 HP grinder and two hours of time billed at $35 and hour would cost less. I enjoy doing my own more than I would paying $200 a deer.

How many lbs of those dried sticks? Those things can escalate a bill quickly.

I must be in the right business as I wouldn’t do all of that for someone else for $440. :-)

[Landrover]

Sounds like my bill, minus $200. I like R&D Processing in Spring. The product and the service are awesome, they also support a ton of our SCI Chapter programs. Processing is ok if that's your thing but, I just like to HUNT!

Hell man I will do it for $439.99... or you could buy your own grinder

I really want a deer made into tamales this year but most places are around $13/dozen!

That's not a bad price for tamales.
Well, up here anyway to buy them. No place to get venison tamales made.

[Fishndude]

How many total pounds of meat did you get?

I've been seriously thinking about attempting tamales myself this year. Just waiting for my son to get his deer before i bust the grinder out.

I attempted tamales with the help of my wife a couple of years ago but the meat came out too dry... will try again next month. Sorry for hi-jacking thread op

Sausage and sticks increase the pricing dramatically. I usually only have my deer processed in to hamburger / backs straps / tenderloin. I rarely pay over $150 and that would be for a large buck. Had my last one done at Prasek’s in Sealy and they did a fantastic job. Large bodied buck was $160. The packaging was flat so it was easy to stack them in the freezer. I have done a whole doe in to jerky sticks and paid about $380. Never again!!! LOL

In lufkin I can get a quartered deer made into ground meat and back straps tenderized and cut into steak for $75
