Where do you take your big game for processing in the Seattle area / Eastside. Years ago, there was an establishment in Snohomish we would take a side of beef to for processing, but I'm not sure they are still around. Hoping to find a company someone can recommend from personal experience. Also, do you simply hang and clean your game, then wrap it in a game bag and take it in that way or is there better ways?

As far as the processing goes, I simply don't have the extra hours to make all the pepperoni's and sausages, nor do I have the equipment. What should I expect to pay, per pound, for these services?

Thanks for any input.

Fisher Brothers in Issaquah does a good job. I've had four caribou and about the same number of deer done by them.
They are right on Front St in the old downtown area.

Just down the road from Issaquah, there is an older German fellow in Hobart (hobart meats?) that charges $40 to cut and wrap a deer if you bring it in skinned. He charges a reasonable fee for sausage, pepperoni, burger etc. ., can't remember the exact price. Swing by or maybe call if you find a number in the book. Good luck.

I always butcher my animals,but my brother has has quite a few animals done at Hobart meats. That's the same way my brother describes the owner "That old German guy". laugh I can't remember what he charges but he seems very reasonable,I think TRAUT's prices are about right.

Predator Dawg, where do you hunt eastside? Last year a buddy in our camp got a deer on the 2nd day of the season, then took it to a place just south of Tonasket (just off hwy 97) and it was done 2 days later for about $50. I dont know what they were called, but he found them in the phone book.

He was a happy camper with the job they did, and liked having it all cut and wrapped when he got home from the trip.

I tried finding the name of the place and can't. My friends over there know who I am talking about but don't know the name LOL!!!!!.

There's a good place to call and ask and that is Daves Gun & Pawn it is my wifes cousins and they have all the knowledge you will need(I would have called but didn't get the chance). There # is (509)826-0544.

Hope that helps some. smile

Kelsos is the place in Snohomish. They did a great job on the deer I put an arrow in this September.
They charge .59 a pound cut and wrap with a 100 pound minimum. I was 20 pounds shy on the doe, so I payed a little more per pound. They did a great job.

Got my #32 grinder and five pound stuffer on order. Can you say pepperoni? laugh laugh
