Seems most of my local game meat cutters are out of the business, very hard to locate a butcher and most of them will not take in a bear.
Seems to be a combination of government regulations, aging, that have shut them down.
Not really complaining but just another heads up to make sure you have a person lined up to cut before you drop that bear in particular.
I believe John is still cutting meat in our area off of the Lower Faraday Rd. just north of the Cameron Rd ...
No John sold all his equipment last year, I just called him a day ago. The Red Steer on 62 is closed and sold. Jacks up on 28 are not taking in deer.Quote:

Maybe a niche business to go into
GW I think if you have the skill set to do a nice job and the cold storage you can make good money, however its feast and fast, all coming at one time. The government regulations seem pretty bad and probably preventing some folks opening up even for the season.Quote:

For me, the meat butchering with my wife and daughter is part of the hunt experience and I know my meat is perfectly prepared.
There is a guy on the north Mackenzie Lake Rd in Lake St. Peter. Good cuts, vac pac. Makes snitzel. Will do bear. I will try and get his info.
My challenge is being off grid with no ready access to a freezer and storage, probably the same for many hunt camps. If we get it processed by a butcher and properly wrapped normally you can pick it up after the hunt.Quote:

Nice guy. Cooler is on and ready to accept bear tomorrow.
Yes and much easier. When I hunted with a group that’s what we use to do, less trouble for the couple of guys that do all the work. ;)Quote:
