Just like the title asks, do you tip your game processor and if so how much?
10, 15, 20% tip? It is a service after all and gratuity can go a long way. Just curious as to everyone's individual experiences.

I have not, nor had I ever considered it.

I take in boned out meat, and pick it up a week or 2 later.

Have 6 boned out deer sitting on ice right now. Once I've let them sit 2 weeks, I'll take it in.

I don't because I processes half of my own meat in the field. Might as well save the money do the rest at home. In my case.

I don't, even though I deserve a big tip. I process all my own. Cut steaks,stuff sausage, and smoke it. I also can some every year.

Never saw one that deserved a tip and I've been doing my own for years.

Oh ya absolutely take my sweetie out to her favorite restaurant! She definitely works hard wrapping and labeling. She starts with freezer saran wrap then paper, never had freezer burn in almost 30 years of processing our own.

No tip . I did take the time to get to know my processor before his wife passed and he retired and sold his place . Last I heard he moved to Co to be near his son. Said he was getting tired of the heavy elk quarters and could make just as much on deer there . Hopefully he's still around and doing good . I do miss the quality of his work and his dry sense of humor. There's probably plenty of Az guys that miss Ron from Payson.
