Do you tip your game processor

[Brathany]

Here in California, they charge 135.00 per animal, be it a 90lb blacktail or 200lb mule deer, or $1.20cents a lb to grind and wrap, on boned and trimmed venison, those prices motivated me to use my Cabela's points to buy a grinder,

In IL it's $200 processing fee and $2 per lbs of burger. Me and my pals have LEM equipment enroute. 4 deer will break even on the savings by self processing.

Do it. You'll never go back and your meat will taste the way it should.

The last deer I took to the locker came back with lead slug fragments and I was shooting Barnes copper. Then there was the mistake of them reading the sheet of 70lbs of meat as 20lbs and I was treated like the A-hole for pointing it out. Never again.

I've ran large wild game processors and you tip if you want something off the norm. A good example is if you ask the unloading guy to run it across the scale for a weight or to cut the horns or ivories out and the big one if you bring in a pile of leaves and fur in game bags. For normal service pay the normal price, in the shop I ran the best tip anyone got was a Thank You and treating staff kindly, that goes farther than anything!!

Was this in Bologna, sweet sticks, etc ? That's understandable because everyone meat is mixed together till you have enough to do a batch. Seems a lot of people believe butchers process each animal individually. We try to ensure people get their own meat back. But it's impossible when doing bologna, sweet sticks, etc. They get some of theirs and someone else's. Unless they bring about 100 lbs of meat. To do a complete batch.
