    Went to drop off a deer Wednesday and as I pulled in sign on the door read "Closed Until Further Notice". It's always been a good butcher for me, very convienient. I went into panic mode wondering where I was going to take the deer. I ended up dropping off at Bullock's. Similar setup to Sam's with a self check and walk in cooler to drop your deer.

    Hey, it's early in the season. Not enough incoming to keep someone there full time. Be happy you have a deer butcher.

    Yeah, I heard that Sam's would be closed. Sam Poole was a good friend, too bad he passed. The boys were supposed to be continuing the business but, things happen. I will not go into details.

    I've learned to do my own butchering. It's quite a challenge to do it well, but very rewarding and interesting to learn.

    I've got a couple books on it that have helped me, but nothing beats Scott Rea's videos on youtube. He's a traditional butcher in England who produces excellent videos of wild game butchering and recipes.

    Yes, he works on those tiny deer that are found in Britain, but the anatomy is the same.

    Check this out.

    I grew up and started out butchering our own, but it wasn't limited to just deer it was everything Cows, Pigs, Chickens, Lamb, etc...

    now with a full time job that is 50+ hours a week doing it all by myself would be damn near impossible. Anymore I take it to a processor.

    I do all mine myself. I just like to know I'm getting my deer back and not somebody else's.

    Same here. I think I've been screwed by Austin's more than once.

    Once I got 5 shoulders back from a buck. Strange when it went in with 2 shoulders (they split the shoulders into roasts but 2 / 2 = 4 ...not 5)
