Just can't understand why anybody takes a deer to the processor and then won't come get the meat. If you don't want the meat, why take it? My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Processor I'm using weighs it and gives you a price when you drop off your deer. Maybe charge 25% as a drop off charge. Dying ain't much of a living boy...Josey Wales Molon Labe

Know a guy who took in three deer and was on the hook for over $250 of meat and smoked sausages.

You dont even want to know what I paid for 2deer a couple weeks ago, all specialty meats, 120lb of meat. I was thinking it would be 70-80lb, somewhere around $250. Not even close. Im pretty sure they sold me some meat somebody else left cause theres no way the 2deer I left there made 120lb of meat.

One a side note when a deer is donated is the processor paid for their efforts or do they have to eat their efforts?

At home with a 4 year old that has a stomach virus, so I’m gonna have to go by tomorrow. And those jalapeño and cheee sticks are some count. Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

I may drop by and ask him if he needs me to clear out some of that freezer space for him, especially if he's had it for 4-5 weeks. But on a semi-serious note, I've killed a deer, and then had to go on a last minute work trip for 2 weeks.. sometimes makes it hard to pick up on time. I could certainly understand charging a 10-20% fee up front.

Dropped 2 small deer and a big doe a few weeks ago. They're ready now for $256 and the only 'specialty' is one small deer made into seasoned burger that they pushed kinda aggressively. We don't normally get any burger seasoned or with fat added. We'll be finding another processor before next season.. I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

The guy never called to let me know it was ready, and wouldn’t answer the phone when I called. If he is out of freezer space it is on him. I’ll use the other processor in town.

I dropped em off quartered and in coolers. The day I can't skin and quarter a deer I'll quit hunting em. I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one
