Butcherman's Wild Game Processing Guide
wild game guide & info:
Skinned & Quartered:
- We only accept skinned and quarter wild game (venison, elk, moose, bear, etc.) all year round. Space and time are limited. You can help us out by keeping your game clean. Dirty game requires more time and will cost you more money. We reserve the right to refuse any game for any reason.
Always Kept Separate:
- You will always receive your own meat. We keep all batches separate and require minimum batch sizes for this reason. This further encourages you to keep your meat clean. You wouldn’t want rocks, dirt, or twigs in your sausage.
Minimum Batch Size:
- We require you to purchase a minimum of 10 lbs. of each sausage item you select.
What to Bring:
- When you bring in your wild game, please bring your possession tag. Also, please have a general idea of what you’d like made. You don’t have to know exactly, but a general idea is good. Feel free to call with any questions.
