Fruits of the Hunt

Last Monday we dropped eight deer at Marchant's for processing.  Ordinarily we'd process them ourselves but circumstances left us shorthanded in the skinning and butchering department.  $75 for skinning, cutting and wrapping was a good solution to our shorthandedness.  Burger is extra.  We donated three of the deer to Wisconsin's local  Hunt For The Hungry program.  
Made a Marchant’s run today to pick up our deer. Two bushels of steaks chops and roasts, a couple of big boxes of burger, and four humongous bags of trimmings.  $395.
Add to that Six Deuce's bow killed deer and the freezers are at capacity. 

The processing costs spread among ten deer camp guys for six deer is $51 a person.

A fair dollar value.  I think.

For a boatload of organically-grown, free-range, hand-carved, all natural venison.

The December hunt is on deck....
