Picked up my stuff today, they forgot to vacuum pack it which i did when i got home but otherwise i was not expecting to get that much meat back it was insane, 53lbs of bonesless meat(i weighed it) off a deer that field dressed maybe 75 pounds. Everything was wrapped and labeled and in good portions. Little pricey but ill definetly be going back.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but where is Smitty's? I looked it up but I couldn't find it. Also is Knott's butcher shop still open? I heard they closed.

I live down in Timonium and hunt close to home. I shot a doe the first week of archery when it was about a million degrees out. I took it up to Hampstead to a place called C & L Deer processing. He just did a straight cut for me. Kept the back straps whole and cubed the rest. It was $75 and picked it up already frozen. Not sure if they do any real processing but it's good enough in a pinch. Typically I take all my meat to a guy in PA where I'm from near Hershey. I've taken my deer there for 10 years. I even brought my Kansas buck back to him this year. But C & L is close and convenient.

I've always taken my deer to sams deer processing in finksburg. Its about a 30 min drive up 32 from columbia. They do just about everything you can think of with the meat. Turn around is a little over a week, maybe a little longer on the opening weekend of shotgun. Never had a problem with their service or the meat I get from them.
