Deer Butchering and Processing Locations
« on: Sep 24, 2012, 06:22:09 AM »
Normally me and my buddy will tackle the task our selves but I figure it might be good to have a second option if I have the time to hunt but not the time to process everything.  Anyone have any suggestions for deer processing in the southern part of the state (Concord south).  Also, what does it typically cost to have someone process your deer?

I think the cheapest I see now is 125! More if you need a cape or sausage, it's ridiculous! There is a list of guys on the F&G website. I have no recommendations seems they all have issues now whether it be wrapping or using a bandsaw or hair all over it not trimmed enough you name it. I would just stick to doing it yourself much better product and much cheaper. Good luck!

Thanks guys.  Squirrel that would be great.  I will always try and do it myself, but figured it couldn't hurt to have a plan B in the back pocket.

im not tryin to be a wise ass in any way but what do you do at night? i still hunt during daylight hours and cut up my deer at night. most of the time it only takes a couple hours maybe three if your doing sausage and hamburg and your alone....if its cool enough nothin says it all has to be done at once. often times my sausage or hamburger meat gets vaccume sealed in bulk and unground untill i find the time to do it. good luck on the butchering

I'll probably always wind up doing it myself.  Occasionally work takes me on the road, hard to process a deer from a hotel room a couple hundred miles away :)   Just figured it wouldn't hurt to have a back up plan in a pinch that's all.

i can think of two examples w/out putting in much thought.  i'm sure if you really think about it, you may even come up with an example on your own  :P

a buddy was leaving friday morning to take his son and friends camping for the weekend.  he took a doe friday evening.  the weekend temp would top out in the 80's.  off to the butcher it went...

two years ago while gutting a deer i put a giant slice in my finger w/ the knife.  got the deer out and went straight to urgent care.  after stitches and all kinds of wrapping i was unable to cut up the deer myself.  off to the butcher it went...

i understand where your coming from. failing to plan is planing to fail right?! you think they might sputter a little if you was cuttin up a deer in a hotel room ;D

I can give you a definate where NOT to go. Lemays in Goffstown.

No kidding..  The kids are nothing like their grandfather.


If I don't process my own, I use Tim Glaude / Tim's Custom Cutting 497-2614 Goffstown NH.  He use to be the head butcher at Shaw's.
The only thing with Tim, is he usually won't let them hang long if he's busy. But you can ask.  I like to let mine hang 3-4 days in a cooled area. 40-45degrees

good luck
