Local Butchers/Deer Processors

[RPI Bush Hunter]

Hey all,

I’m wondering if anybody uses any local butchers to process their meat for them? If so, I was wondering if I could get a gauge on prices and/or overall experience? In years past I have just driven my deer up to my home in Northern Washington County but with my schedule this semester of school it looks like doing so will be tough. Thanks in advance and good luck in the woods!

I am not in your area but I would say your looking at $70-$100 bucks for a good cut, bone and package. And research well! There are a bunch of not so great butchers out there. There are some real good ones as well though.

Check out these guys in Hoosick Falls. Have used them for a couple deer and very happy with them. I believe cost was in the $100 range and that included adding pork fat to the grind. They also portion, vacuum seal and label everything. https://strattonscustommeats.com/

There is a place in Clifton park down by the Mohawk river. I can grab the name if you can't find it in a gogle search.

Looking like Fred the Butcher if my searching is correct? I’ll give them a call when they open up. I appreciate it! 

[biggamefish]

No not Fred they will not do it.  I will get the guys name and number for you.

This may be a bit far out for you, but have heard from others that they do a good job, for about $100. Marlow's, just outside Cobleskill, in Howes Cave.  518-296-8978

I've used him plenty of time, does a nice job.

Never used Keller, but my friends have had no complaints.

I also used a guy in Duanseburg last year based on a referral from this site - he was solid, but that seems way out of your way. If you want that info let me know.

Always good to have a back up, do you have his specifics?

I’ll absolutely take his info if you have it. Can never have too many options!
