Buck down. Butcher in Halton Hills area?
Hi guys,
I was fortunate enough to end a 5 year drought and filled my buck tag very nice 3.5 YO yesterday after work.
Does anyone know of a butcher in the Halton Hills area?
Thanks everyone

Found a butcher pretty close by guys. Thank you for your suggestions. I would've butchered him myself but with warms temps, work kids, hockey, school, life, etc....I was short on time.
My quickest hunt ever...in the stand by about 4:30. Took out my range finder to remind myself of yardages. There is a well used trail to my 10 o'clock that I had a hunch would reveal one of the bucks on the property. It's nestled in with some swampy cedars and thick stuff.
Literally as I put my ranger back in my coat pocket I hear the unmistakable sound coming from my left down that very trail. Leaves were dry and crunchy as hell, so I could hear it coming from a way's out. I saw his rack first and out he comes at a pretty good pace. He hangs up and catches something in the wind. I though theres no way he's windin me as i had a perfect SE wing coming straight at me.
Anyways, he carries on and walks perfectly in front of me broadside at 19 yards. I let out the classic "MEHH!", he stops and I drilled him right behind the shoulder. He didn't know what hit him. Ran off about 30 yards, stood still for a few seconds, then started to wobble and darted off into some cedars and piled up. BBD in a matter of 17 minutes. Now.....all I had to do was extract this 200+lb animal out of a property that is infested with coyotes, swamps, and several hills with 100 ft elevation changes! Big shout to 2 good buddies and the owner of the property who helped.
Now, I will be the first to admit that it almost NEVER comes this easy. I mentioned that I ended a 5 year drought of tag soup, and it was certainly not for lack of scouting and hours sitting in the stand at a number of different properties.
I am beyond happy and grateful that things came together yesterday.
