Most of the butcher shops that take game for the hungry want $65 or so to process a deer.
If they charge then they aren't very ethical.The butcher shops here forhunters for the hungery in our area does all their work for free no charges or hidden cost anywhere. All you do is take your meat to them then they butcher it and giive it to the local soup kitchens or whereever has made a request for it. Sounds like your butcher is making a quick hustle.
