Uhh, don't know where your at but locally your looking at $450-600 for cut and wrap elk. The number of quality wildgame processors are nill in my area, last year I called around evey shop in SW MT and none would take a boned cow elk a buddy got, I was stunned, Im honestly thinking about cutting again, used to cut and wrap elk for $99.I used to do my own elk processing but have come to the conclusion the most cost effective thing is to bone out the elk to get it off the mountain, then take the meat to the local butcher for processing. Keep the back straps and let them cut the roasts and grind the burger.
Why spend a whole day messing with it when we can pay a pro to cut and wrap it for a couple hours of wages.
