that's nuts I agree with the above, GO there , demand your deer or your money back, NOW
as honestly if its NOT done by now, I most likely wouldn;t want it back,a s GOD know's what they did with it or what they will give you
I would honestly just want my $$ back at this point than any MEAT they might give me, I would also report them to the game dept, and I would also let the local better business chapter know of there doings
I would also see what business lic they have, as they MUST follow some guidelines or can get fines!
I have had tons of deer butchered over the yrs, and have worked in several butcher shops over the yrs, we NEVER ever took more than a week and MOST times had things done same day dropped off,
MONTHS is crazy, and something is terribly wrong with this
I also would have NEVER EVER waited this long, allowing them this much time, is also , sorry, but your fault as well
all the more so if you have experience and know how long it should take.
so some blame sadly will fall on you here
ALL the more so if this place has a policy about WHEN you MUST pick your deer up after butchered
as I know from working in a butcher shop doing deer, MANY hunters will drop off, and NOT come back, or come back in a time frame given!, and our deal was 7 days AFTER we called and talked to you or left a voice mail stating deer was done, , after that, you come or it MIGHT be gone and depot wasn';t going back to you!
SO< we normally gave guys a week to come back after being called it was done, as after that, if they didn;t show up, we had a right to do what we wanted with it, as a STORE policy, as some of the shops I worked at were seasonal
and not run full time, so there was NO way we were going to keep a cooler running to hold 1-2 deer for a guy on our dime!
but this was always know to them before they decided to LEAVE a deer to be butchers and was also printed on the receipt we gave at drop off! with basic cut info and such and price of job!(minus any added things unknown till done!
BUT I would still go there and TRY and get a refund
just don't expect things to go your way if they had a like above policy and they SAY they called you and you didn;t get back to them
be ready to pull phone records if need be, if you wish to fight things
NEVER EVER wait this long again, , a deer doesn't take that long to butcher!
