I've heard great things about Weaver's. Over an hour away, but I'm still considering taking some there.



Don't forget your wallet and your checkbook... they are good but you definitely pay for it. Take your meat to them in a cooler quartered up you will be better off


For sure.

Back when I ran dogs, it was nothing to see a fella tote a buck around on his dog box all day. Id Just shake my head. But back then I probably done some sheet that made others shake that head too.....

After it soaks in ice water for two months. Then marinate the meat in Italian dressing for one week and you’re good to go. lol

I don't gut in the field unless I absolutely have too. Much easier to do at our skinning rack. It's a bigger deal to me to get the blood out of the meat before processing so the wild taste is gone.

We are all in agreement we’d much rather whole deer be brought in than gutted. Gutted deer typically are harder to skin because the hide has already started drying around the edges, they usually have a lot of sandy, gritty material stuck to the meat, and when ppl don’t gut them properly it gets fecal and gut matter all over the inner loins and hindquarters. I can promise you those deer laying on the ground won’t taste any different than one gutted on the spot.



Plus they make lots of $$$$ gutting deer.

Exactly same reason I quarter up my deer process my own.
When you show up and there is 10 stiff looking ugly deer ahead of yours.lol naw I'm done
Coolers and ice here bleed em out and cut em up.

Honestly the post that people said I gut them where they are told me who kills deer regularly or ever have
Not the people gutting where they dropped
Vast majority of guys kill deer and quarter it up drop carcass and guts into bucket at same time.
No need to gut where it drops

I do all my own processing for a few reasons. I generally prefer not to gut at all if I can move the animal to the skinning shed. I only go after rib meat if it’s a “big” animal. Hearts are usually toast so no point in going to look. There have been instances where I field dressed to get some weight off if I needed to go up hill in rough terrain and a few times(on public land where I can’t take anything motorized) that I’ve done my best with either quartering or just deboning in situ and packing it out. But I try and avoid those situations. I’ve had a few deer over the years that lay too long with the guts in(even in very cold weather) that the tenderloins got real funky to the point of being unappetizing. The rest was fine though.

I've gotten to where I do the gutless method most of the time if I'm processing myself. Otherwise I'll gut it and hang it at camp until I can get to the processor that day or the next.
