In a bind for a butcher in the LML

[HarryToolips]

Sorry, cant help with another cutter but why not quarter it and put it in your refrigerators? Another option is to quarter it and get it on ice in coolers with the lid cracked to let condensation out. We do this with our spring bears and can keep meat cool for several days.

True story...the cooler method works well...

buy a 12 dollar boning knife,laptop with youtube and cut that deer up. You will never take a deer to a butcher again.

He could try calling Beltrame Meat Supply in Langley -- (604) 530-7557

He's not doing game meat anymore. K

There was a cooler down in matsqui that you can hang it. Havent used it in 2 years not sure if there still there. Paige creek cooler? Something like that. For deer i would just quarter it and put in a fridge or freezer and butcher myself once i have time. Its really easy

I guess we can all experience things differently.
I've had Ulie at Sumas do 3 elk and a couple deer over the last 4 years, and he just did our moose.
i take him game that doesnt have a hair on it, and I get back the same quality.
Very happy with all the results....roasts and a variety of sausage and jerky. Consistently great service and a fair price.
Maybe a PM to understand the concern?

Hey all,

A friend of ours got a beautiful buck down this weekend and is having trouble locating a butcher that isn't full. I recommended Ullie with Sumas from my own personal experience but unfortunately he's full and can't take it until Thursday.

He's worried about the temps and I don't think his garage is the coolest..

Can anyone recommend another butcher? He's in Chilliwack but I'm sure given the situation he'd be more than willing to travel.

Thanks so much in advance!

I will put my deer in a freezer until sumas has room I've tried others in the lower mainland but won't go anywhere else now

I second this. After being in a similar bind I said 'screw it' and cut it myself. Even bought myself an electric meat grinder to do my own burger. Done five animals in the last two years. The equipment easily pays for itself and it honestly doesn't take very long. Especially if you have help.
