East Texas Deer Processing near Avinger?

[Crawdaddi0]

Anyone in the far North-East Texas area have a recommendation on a deer processing facility? The guy that did it for us last season is no longer available. Longview-Marshall-Avinger area. Pricing is appreciated.

I did try to search before posting.

The last honest butcher is well over 70 miles away, in Rockwall. They should have the Greenville location open by now
Longview and Marshall, good luck, a bunch of hacks and crooks.
There are a few more guys here in the ArkLaTex, perhaps they know of one.

Try asking the meat cutters in your local stores if they or anyone they know.

I stopped trusting deer processors and bought a grinder and sausage stuffer.

Last night laying in bed watching youtube videos when I came across some cajun guy I think he was sell a spice blend, but he was cooking. Stalekracker Official is the name of his youtube. He was doing Deer meat sauce piquante.

Its a video everyone who kills a deer should watch.
All of his videos are great entertainment.

There’s a decent one in Detroit.

Ain't hard to do it yourself. I started doing my own many moons ago. I know that it is my deer, especially with hamburger and sausage.

 

[deemus]

The only ones I don’t do myself I are the ones I take to Stonewall Smokehouse. That smoked sausage they make is amazing.

An honest butcher, a clock maker, a real gunsmith, all getting few and far between.

Not hard to do yourself. You Tube is your friend.

I had a buddy in Stonewall that let me hunt his place one weekend each year. So when I shot a deer there i used SS to do the meat. Also gave me a good excuse to go back later to pick up the meat. Me and my son shot some nice animals over the last 15 years.


He passed last year, and his widow hasn't invited me, and I won't ask.

Yep all good things come to an end. Maybe she will get a hold of you when the deer overrun the place.

Her son and son in law hunt it too.

It was a ton of fun. But mostly I miss seeing him down there. Good guy. They split time between Dallas and Stonewall. We had breakfast every other month. He was a really good friend.

I've been able to help his wife through the grieving process. Happy about that. Tough losing a spouse.

The problem with honest butchers is they are busy doing their own or friend deer. I can also say I would never mess with one unless it was cold outside or in a proper cutting room.

Another thing I found everyone has a different idea of what the want. The last one I cut up was for a friend of mines father. He really had no Idea of what he wanted. For so many they only know the backstrap. Whit a General Zod cleaver I would be making back strap lollypop chops bone in.

Something no-one ever does is make venison stock. I had a big soup pot I got from my chef buddy, that I left it when I moved. Take a deer carcass & roast or smoke the bones with celery, onions & carrots and the simmer them down fo a stock. Talk about up your venison stews or chiles flavor.

This is my ultimate direction but damn that stuff ain’t cheap.

This right here. You are never getting the deer you shot back from a processor. You will get what your deer weighed after deboning( if your processor is honest) but anything that is ground will be community deer. Meaning you may be getting several pounds of meat that came off a deer bubba gut shot and did not find until he saw vultures circling the next day.

Been processing my own deer for about 20 years now.

We do. I keep all of the bones off of mine and the stock gets split between people and dogs over the year.
