Mainland Butcher info tread.

[Steeleco]

Ok gang, it's been some time and much banter but here goes.

The RULES.

1 Post up your questions and answers about butchers and contact info.
2 No pumping or slamming this cutter or that cutter. (that thread may come soon?)
3 No listing of prices for services rendered.
4 No hyperlinks to web pages

Seems I haven't maintained this list in many moons. Apologies to those who reached out for advice that I can no longer provide. As long as the rules above are followed feel free to ask any and all questions needed.

My advice to new hunters, FIND YOUR CUTTER BEFORE your hunt.

Hi all,

My bro and I are heading out in a couple weeks after a spring bear. Does anybody know of butchers in Kelowna who will handle bear meat? I have heard some are reluctant because of potential for trichinella. Looking for smoked hams and sausage if we are lucky enough to get one or two. Thanks!

[bc_buckshot]

Grimms in pentecton are hunter friendly and know have good reviews give them a call. Always best to call in advance.

Some friends brought them two Moose, said the place was spotless

[Looking_4_Jerky]

Updates for Kamloops area:



Kam Lake View meats - Butchering year round, sausage/Jerky only after new years. 250-828-1015

Keely's Chop'n'Block - Fresh sausage and now does smoked products (freakin terrific jerky). 250-828-8616. Pretty sure they are not butchering anymore.

Gary's European Deli - No game cutting but does superb sausage products. Does good Jerky too but is the "thick, meaty" European style. If you like thin & dry, this is not the place for your jerky. 250-376-0832

Eriks Sausage & Meats - Does limited butchering, but does superb fresh & smoked sausage. Same style jerky as Gary's, no thin, dry style. 778-471-5055

Thompson Rivers University retail meat store - Not sure about butchering, but do fresh & smoked sausage as well as jerky. 250-371-5991

Savona Custom Meats - Can't hang meat but does smoked products if you bring him game. Phone first please. 250-373-2442

Helmuts Sausage Kitchen (Vernon) - I think Sausage only - 250-260-3281

Ritter's House of Sausage (Vernon) - His 1st priority is his store front and he's a solo act, so he's hard to catch at a time when he'll take meat and he does mainly pepperoni. Having said that, if you've ever tried his "double smoked/double dry" pepp, nothing else will ever compare. Like jerky and pepperoni all in one stick! Good luck not eating the whole bag! 250-545-9691

Cheers!

does anyone know of anyone who cuts game and hangs game around burns lake granisle area we hunting 7_27 and just need to know the closest place thanks for any help

[caddisguy]

I am wondering if anyone knows of a meat cooler near Falkland (closer than Kamloops, Vernon, Salmon Arm) ... I'll be hunting around the highlands for a week and would like to avoid a 2 hour round trip to Kamloops if we get a deer early on. Something around Falkland, Monte Lake or Westwold would be ideal! Just need chillin, butchering not essential (though I'd consider depending on timing) Thanks in advance if anyone knows someone/someplace!

Hi everyone. I was wondering fi anyone has had good experience with bear meat in the lm or fraser valley? Im mostly interested in sausage and pepperoni. Can anyone recommend a game cutter who makes decent bear snacks? Thx everyone

[malibual0]

Can anyone help me out. My butcher has his shop closed this season. I need a good butcher, within a a few hours from Kamloops. I don't mind travelling and I don't mind paying as long as its cut nice. I am leaving moose hunting September 11th and will be back around the mid to end of September and it's usually still warm out. So I need this planned a head of time. Please help 😊

I use and am always happy with Interior Cut Rite...Carl makes some great sausage. He does get super slammed, but he won't be super busy right now, quality should be top notch

[Pacemaker]

I agree with Rob that Chris Voight does an excellent job, and runs a first class operation. Give him a call, you won't go wrong. Good luck on your hunt.

[351BII]

Thank you, got the name and number in the phone. Called today to get an address. Hopefully I can take him something. Thx again

[malibual0]

Thanks for everyone's help. I got it figured out. Good luck everyone.

[ROY-alty33]

Any one have any info for hanging only for buffalo anywhere between the forts would work I guess. I believe Won was on here and did hanging only but has been removed due to some less than favorable reviews!

[BigMrMeats]

Noah Normandale in West Kelowna, BC - 250-768-5703

Cuts meat, first come/first serve
Will make fresh sausage on the spot, but doesn't store meat or make smoked/cured sausages

[lineofsight]

In LML been happy with Beltrame (can recommend) but in planning to take LEH moose there in two weeks been told that may not have room and will tell us the day we are there which is a little impractical...

Recommendations for Moose butcher plan B? As long as in LML all good or for that matter between there and 7-8.

Also tried Nicola Valley but currently not accepting game (mentioned refrigeration problems and short staffing), he did mention another cutter (who has had mixed feedback).

[shortrange]

FYI Manny's place is Country Meadows Meats. He is good and not expensive. I just wish he would stop telling me my deer are too small :)

[pse&remington]

Looking for yur favorite butcher in the lower mainland. When I get my meat down I would like to be prepared and hear only ever of the negative so if anyone could help with a recommend be appreciated.

[sarg]

Ullie at sumas meats treats me and my family great, but he is hard to get in to because he is so busy

[dirtrider999]

My family had been using sumas meats for over 20 years are are very happy with them. Like sarg said it's a busy place. We've seen 5 truck lineups to pick/drop meat off/up so we always call ahead and give them as much notice as possible.

[bc_buckshot]

I'm also a big supporter of Sumas meats and been using them since I was a teen. I used to live two farms down from a butcher and I still drove 30mins to go to sumas meats.

[whitlers]

I have used Beltrame a few times. He's alright

[plumberjustin]

I've had great experience with Ron Brown at mission meat shop.

[J-Man]

Used to use Penguin Meats but had a disagreement with the owner and moved to Enis Farms didn't like the cuts we got back. Now using Beltrame so far so good, used him last 2 years.

Penguin meats no longer handles any wild game meat.

[Good2bCanadian]

Another vote for Sumas Meats!
Friendliest meat shop in the valley!
Call ahead tho

[kevan]

Cannot beat these guys, only one thing.... Do your very best to bring as clean as possible.
That goes a long way with a butcher...any butcher.
I have seen Moose quarters full of gravel and twigs and the guy is told to take it home so he is angry at the butcher for refusing to clean.
I mean, gimme a break !

[J-Man]

Penguin meats no longer handles any wild game meat.

Prob because they were screwing their customer's around and caused lots of bad blood. Cuts were fine but meat returned started getting light and the ground was packed with more pork then deer. Anyway's was a great place in the late 90s early 2000s to bad.

[Moe.JKU]

Ennis has been good to us the last 3 years quick as well.

[Big Hoss]

Sumas meats or Beltrame can't go wrong with either

[IPA]

Peter at beltrame meats is scaling down on his cutting so be sure to talk to him before you head out to see if he is willing to take any animals in for you.

Trying Joe at Page Creek Cooler in Abby for a small mulie tomorrow. If it is good I will give him a try if we get a moose later in October..
Peter at Beltrame is definately not doing much if any game.
He is super busy cutting meat for fresh dog food...

[Blainer]

Struggled to find a butcher to take buck in on Wed, all coolers full. ugh

[miner_luke]

Came back into town with a Mulie this Friday afternoon, neither Beltrames or Ennis handling game. The others had no room and werent interested unless you called and booked space before the hunt. so I figured no better time like the present to learn to do it myself. After picking up some supplies I butchered it on Saturday, took me a while and kind of made a mess of it but got it done. I'm sure it will get better and easier with some experience... and proper butcher knives. I'm just going to butcher my own game from now on, the commercial places are turning into too much hassle.

[Stresd]

Fortunate to be able to get our two Bulls into Sumas Meats Sun morning after phoning thurs that we would be down late Friday night. Needed to to rehang quarters in Cargo trailer in Bro's driveway and fire up the Coolbot for 32 hrs. But early Sun Morning there was 1200 lbs of Moose hanging in Sumas's cooler.

[madtrapper85]

Is there a game butcher in Princeton?

[Steeleco]

There's a cutter in Coalmont 20min north of town but I know nothing of him other than seeing his sign Sunday.

[sled-fiend]

Any butchers in the peace region taking meat? We usually take ours to Russels, 2 elk down and they just said closed for the season...

Had a similar experience only made worse by our mistake of leaving the prime cuts with the butcher. Got two small packs of tenderloin off of an 850 lb moose... it was a hassle to get it in, and I will assume lots of prime wound up in hamburger. I watched a couple youtube videos on the topic and now I am the GD expert :-D

In all honesty is was super easy, I know where all the cuts went, and it didn't cost more than a few vacuum bags.

This was a great vid.

Hi all, is there a place around Kamloops that will keep game meat cool while we continue our hunt? Not really looking for butchering service, but only to hang and cool for a few days. I'd appreciate any info. Thanks.

[Steeleco]

Kamloops like most places will have places that may hang only, but for all the time I've been running this list. I find the cutters that will hang game only charge near as much as they do to cut the meat in the first place. They only have so many hooks. You may just want to get your game cut? At least it will be packed and frozen with no meat loss.

I've cut my own for years and shudder to think I'd need to pay the going rate to get an animal cut, but I'd rather that than loose one to this heat!

[Deep]

Thanks for the info, and for the informative thread Steeleco.

So any recommended places to get game meat cut and packed in/around Kamloops?

[Steeleco]

[dirtyminer]

Steeleco
Why do you shudder at the cost of having a butcher cut your meat? Yes a butcher only has so many hooks and so many corners to put a deer in. Why should a business owner take a loss to hang only? Meat cutting is a trade, as is plumbing, electrical work, mechanics. People are willing to pay a decent wage for most trades but not for meat cutting. This is why we will find fewer and fewer meat cutters as the years progress. There is just not enough money in it for most to make a decent living.

[Steeleco]

I hear cost's of up to $1/lb and in many cases minimums in the $100 range. Between the few buddies and my kids that we cut and wrap for, I've saved enough to buy lts more guns LOL

I don't begrudge the trades guys for making a living, I am one!! but I'm fussy and somewhat of a control freak!! I've the space and a cooler, it's not hard at all.

The good cutters we had in the LML that I did use in the day all quit/retired. What's left is lean and overworked, the quality can't be that good at the peak of the season!

I feel like if im going to go to all the trouble and work of hunting and harvesting an animal, I want to do everything involved with it from start to finish. Curious on your set up? Do you rig up a large table etc? What gear do you need (apart from the obvious, like a knife)?

the butcher asked me to relay that he has space and also that he acquired some gorgeous pasture pork ...Large Black cross with Mule foot....and has lots of high quality pork fat for making sausages.

also, just so people know, we are here late and can open the door whenever you want to drop off your game. we live upstairs from the butcher shop so it is no problem.

cheers and happy hunting!!

That is a great idea. I don't use butchers because once I drop off my animal I don't know what's done with it. If I'm in your area, I may just call you up...

A lot of hunters feel that way. This way you can see where every ounce of meat goes

[chrscott]

Does anyone know of a cutter around Valemount or McBride?

A fellow named Harold Hawkes used to cut in Valemount (near the auto wrecker), but I called and he is no longer doing it.

He mentioned a few names for McBride but didn't have contact info. Does anyone know these guys: Jim Chipka, or Mark Raw?

Thanks,
Chris

I use this guy in Osoyoos - can recommend him.

[chrscott]

I did find one butcher in McBride that does cut game meat. Robson Valley Custom Meats.

They said they could process a moose in 4-5 hours.

[cuervosail]

Don't use Country Meadow Meats in Pitt Meadows. Very disappointed. We dropped off more about 400 lbs of moose and 100+ lbs of caribou - each species packed separately and clearly marked. When we took it in last week, the butcher even complimented us on how clean the meat was. We ordered roasts, steaks and burger. We got about 20 pounds of roasts from the caribou and about the same in burger - no steaks at all. What the hell happened to the rest of it? Likely mixed it with the moose. Overall, way more burger than we should've got back. Next time, I'll be looking for a mobile meat cutter so I can see where it's going.

[Looking_4_Jerky]

Updates for Kamloops area, Sept 22 update:



Kam Lake View meats - Butchering year round, sausage/Jerky only after new years. 250-828-1015

Chop'n'Block - Butchering and fresh sausage, smoked products. 250-828-8616

Gary's European Deli - No game cutting but does superb sausage products. Does good Jerky too but is the "thick, meaty" European style. If you like thin & dry, this is not the place for your jerky. 250-376-0832

Benny the Butcher

Sedos (Salmon Arm)

Tappen Meats

Darlington Meats

Thompson Rivers University retail meat store - Not sure about butchering, but do fresh & smoked sausage as well as jerky. 250-371-5991

Savona Custom Meats - Can't hang meat but does smoked products if you bring him game. Phone first please. 250-373-2442

Helmuts Sausage Kitchen (Vernon) - I think Sausage only - 250-260-3281

Ritter's House of Sausage (Vernon) - His 1st priority is his store front and he's a solo act, so he's hard to catch at a time when he'll take meat and he does mainly pepperoni. Having said that, if you've ever tried his "double smoked/double dry" pepp, nothing else will ever compare. Like jerky and pepperoni all in one stick! Good luck not eating the whole bag! 250-545-9691

Cheers!

Don't have updates for the rest, but Chop N Block now does smoked products and they're phenomenal. Dry style pepperoni is killer, Jerky is the best I've tasted in years, European wieners (ours were moose) are very good. They are fairly strict about what you take there. No bones and must frozen and be properly bagged. The products I've tasted from there are totally worth the trouble. Unfortunately, I think they dropped their butchering services, and Kamloops was already lacking.

Anybody know if Carvers in Burnaby is still active ?

Gave him a shout , not cutting this year but looking to relocate hopefully still in the Burnaby area and back in business next year

Any recommendations for a place to take spring bear in Kelowna?
I'm looking to have ham, sausage and pepperoni made. Mission meats won't take bear which is disappointing as they did a top notch job with last seasons deer.

Thanks

[abbyfireguy]

Any places to hang moose near Bear Lake?

[leadpillproductions]

Any one know a decent place to get summer sausage and pepperoni. dawson or fsj area

[Darris doois]

Have you had anything butchered there since. It use to be good. But very disappointed with the last job they did.

[silvertipp]

Does anyone know if the butcher on 264 st north of the freeway ever reopened anywhere's

[mike31154]

Not sure Chilako Meats just west of Prince George has been mentioned in this thread before, but I figured an update is worthwhile. 2 buddies & I had a moose done last week and they did a fine job. Only slight hiccup was they were running low on meat hooks when we showed up so we had to hook 2 quarters each on 2 hooks when we dropped it off. Young fella said they had a lot of elk come in that week. We were pleased with the result. When we arrived to pick it up on the way home a week after dropping it off it was well packaged & frozen, bill split into 3 for our convenience. My 2 friends are from the island & it made more sense to have a cutter do the work rather than deal with hauling unfrozen quarters all that way.

[KtownBobby]

I am back after taking a 3 year hiatus to focus on family and school. I went to TRU for meat cutting and am currently living in New Denver, if anyone needs a cut/wrap in the area.

There are signs leading to a house in Coalmont. Never used him but from an outside appearance I never would. He may be OK? First impressions LOL

Anyone one able to suggest cold storage for game hanging in/around Vanderhoof? Supposed to be quite warm in September.
Post or PM me.

Thanks in advance

[Muledeercrazy2]

Hi Guys, im heading out for a few weeks so i wont be able to thank you for any replies after this Wednesday. So, thanks in advance. I'm looking for options for hanging only, or cut and wrap for moose with a quick turnover west of PG and east of Terrace. Any info or recommendations appreciated. We have one option already, but any feedback or help is appreciated.

[Muledeercrazy2]

Wayne, didnt see your post. Hope all is well. If you find out anything relevant let me know? Heading for a trip with Riverjet on Thursday and going for moose later in Oct. Travis

Was in the Outdoor Store in Downtown Hope and picked up a card for:
Hogg's Custom Cutting
David Flexhaug
604 860-9365 (tel:604 860-9365)
I'll ask at hockey to see if any of the numerous hunters in the group know anything about him.



I know Dave well, he’s a fantastic guy and very particular about his work
only guy I’ve ever FULLY trusted with my game meat and very reasonably priced

and FYI he’s also the man who for years has in his spare time and at his own expense (I believe) been putting trash cans and bags along the skagit valley cleaning and maintaining the area for all of us to use on his days off, so please give him props if you go see him

[fozzy]

I stopped by A&K Grimms today in Penticton, they unfortunately do not cut game anymore. Hopefully they will again one day.
just a heads up for anyone planning to drop off there.

Can anyone recommend a butcher that will do spring bear between Castlegar and the South Okanagan? Ive tried Fred Rempel in Oliver and Paul in Osoyoos and they both were a no go. Waiting to hear back from sentinel in Castelgar.

I contacted A&K Grimms in Penticton again this year, they will not be cutting again this year.
I see they are still on the list..

[hotstuff]

Guess it needs an update on who is still cutting game, especially for us in West Kelowna.

[oddsix]

Ennis Farm Meats has new owners. I believe they are cutting game.

[odd6hunter]

I think you’re number for Manny’s Place is wrong should be 604-460-6411

[suburbboy]

Does anyone know of a butcher in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley that will hang a buck for 18 days? I've contacted Country Meadows Meat (Manny), and Opening Day Game Cutting and neither will commit to an 18 day hang.

[fozzy]

Guess it needs an update on who is still cutting game, especially for us in West Kelowna.

Ogopogo meats & Sausages in Summerland is cutting game.

[todbartell]

I recently used Denton Johnson @ Northern BigGame Butchers in Prince George. I dropped off 4 moose quarters and a few hours later I picked them up all cut and wrapped. He's busy, so you have to contact him ahead of time to schedule an appointment. He does not offer cold storage, just butchering. I recommend him

https://northernbiggamebutcher.com/

[RandyC]

Dropped off our 103 pound muley, all fat, fur, lower legs and waste trimmed off. Ordered roasts, steaks and ground. After 12 days of no call, no return of 3 calls from us, went to their location. Lady sheepishly said they ground up the entire deer, and brought out one box with 37 one pound packages in it. Thats 37 pounds of ground from a 103 pound deer, weighed on their scale, that was this morning. Ennis Farm Meats

[jlirot]

Hey guys:

I'm super busy these days and thinking of getting my stuff butchered for me. I haven't seen anything on Benny the Butcher: https://bennythebutcher.ca/

Anyone recommend him?

I can give Hogg's a call too as if I get something I'll be headed back Vancouver way anywho.

Tks.

[jlirot]

Hey. HOggs isn't doing spring butchering. I really want to meet that guy. I have spoken with him twice. He seems like quite the character! In a good way.

I have seen a few posts about some people who will butcher but a quick search couldn't find anything.

I'm super busy and would love to find someone to cut up my bear for me. I prefer anywhere Merritt to Vancouver. I'll be traveling that-a-way probably tomorrow.

I think there's someone highly recommended in Langley. That would be perfect. LML is preferred but I could hit Kamloops if I need to.

Cheers,

[Steeleco]

The only cutter I hear chatter about in the LML is Sumas.

[Livewire322]

Josh at Opening Day Game Cutting, located near Mt Lehman rd, does good work at a fair price.


He was responsive to phone calls and text messages, very prompt in getting my deer processed, and was available on a Sunday!

[jlirot]

Thanks guys. Sumas was on my radar. I hadn't heard of Opening Day. I took the hams off to make it easier to pick up (I'm solo) - and threw everything in the freezer. I'm just too busy to do this right now so I'll be making some calls after my next work call to see who can do it!

It's good to get this thread active again anyway.

[savage10]

Heard great things about Josh at opening day game cutting, will probably use him should I be successful in the next couple weeks. Also heard good things about Iron Butcher in Pitt meadows.

[jlirot]

Dropping my bear off with Josh later today! I love it when the butcher says he can't take it tomorrow because he'll be off hunting. :-)
