Meat Locker -- Naches or Yakima?

[shoot2miss]

We're hunting Bumping Lake next week.  Where is the closest meat locker?  Thx

Nile meats just east of the 12 and 410 junction, I think squaw rock has coolers too.

There is one right off the Hwy near Naches in a campground, you might talk to them and see what they charge

Squaw Rock had one last year when I was hunting and they are fairly cheap.

I wouldn't store anything at slims! What a disgusting place!

Nile valley meats is the closest full service butcher and makes exceptional jerky. Larry can be an ass but Barb is a sweetheart. Larry has his good days and bad days but he is a decent guy. I take several animals a year to them. Moose will be going there this year

I camp at Squaw Rock. It's got a walk in cooler. I think it was $15 a day if I remember.


"Honey; Hunting is free meat". She'll never know the truth.

For the love of god people, stay away from slims!  Do it for your family!

Taken several elk to Larry over the years. Always good job. He speaks his mind.
If you are a guy that likes to drag your meat through the dirt, leave the hide on all day in 60 degree weather you are not going to like him.
I have seen him climb in the back of a truck and tell guys their elk is spoiled. He won't take it.
But if you take good care of it and deliver him a well cared for carcass he will do right by you.
Gave us his cell number told us to call him if we got something down after hours ,he would come down and hang it in the cooler for us.

He gets real busy so cooler space can be at a premium . Since he moved out of town he has a larger cooler now.

Good luck.

We have taken a couple of elk to Larry at Nile Valley Meats.  I must have caught him on good days because he was very nice and helpful.  Barb makes an AWESOME cheddar jalepeno summer sausage!  His business cards and shirts were memorable, at least a few years ago.  They had a big drawing of a bull mounting a cow and the slogan, "Processing your next year's game." or something like that.  haha

:yeah:n Without a doubt its good stuff when you get it back, but like has been stated Larry can be a complete prick. He told me last year my meat was junk. (It was scraps for burger or pepper stick) Whatever you do dont tell him you want pepper stick then want it spiced up with cuyan and cheese added. Apparently its not a pepper stick then.

I took my bear to him this year and all he did was bitch about how he hates bears, so I'm tired of his attitude, I went back to don Baggerly. Don't need his pissy attitude

Nile Valley Meats is for sale these days (not sure if they're still in operation or not). Is there anywhere else that will rent hanging space?

Squaw rock still has a cooler don’t they? I thought there was one more up there also?

[ileggett]

Not sure if you all saw the post I added that’s is still in the top 10 topics. Barb passed away a couple years ago, Larry left back to the mid west and Nile Valley meats is closed! I heard that Squaw Rock doesn’t use that cooler anymore, haven’t had a chance to check in person.
