Long Island: Mobile Processors or Pickups?

[ChrisW74]

Hi All,

 

I have a butcher local to me in Queens that will process but I was wondering if any of you know of anyone that either does Mobile Processing or does carcass pickup for processing.

There will be times this year I can go hunt but will not have the ability to transport the carcass back to my local butcher.

Any leads will be appreciated.

Thank you

I don't think many will pick up carcasses, but theres a few butchers on the island

hey chris im in queens too .the problem in the city is the health dept  [thank you mike bloomberg]

they dont let butchers do deer anymore and if they do no hair .So you have to take the hide off and maybe they might do it .  Long island has a few processors . but what i do is what i learned from my friend in Louisiana, he's a Cajun and their hunting seasons are warm [very warm 70-90 degs] and what they do down there is skin and quarter up the deer and put it on ice for a week draining and adding ice very day ,its called wet aging.I did with the deer i got last year i got the cooler carrier on my car so upstate i had it on ice 3 days [hey i live in queens they dont like deer blood lol] its was cold @ nite and up to the mid 40's to 50 during the day so just drained it the ice really never melted  and i butchered it in my moms basement cause i always do my own deer but this as a game changer made it so much easier and i dont have people giving my the finger on the thruway with a deer on my car any more.
