Last year they lost my deer. Took them 7 weeks to find it. Even then; I'm not very confident I got back the deer I brought in to be butchered.
This year I decided to give them a second chance, given we have had great experiences prior to 2013. We brought them 3 deer and 1 elk this year. What a mess.
All 3 deer involved smoke products (summer sausage, peperoni). We like to make our own jerky, so we requested meat cut into jerky, wrapped, etc. They messed it all up. I got calls from their staff (4 times) to come in and pickup meat. I would get there, and I was shorted something. Then I would have to wait for them to make it right, and come back. Total mess.
I boned out my elk and brought them 100% good clean meat (150 pounds). No blood shot etc. The elk was to be cut into steaks, roast, burger, etc. Just a basic cut n wrap job. I get back 4 large paper bags of ground meat, 4 packs of stew meat, and 8 packs of steaks (total 16 steaks), and the tenderloins are missing. That was it.
Essentially I was told they hired a new guy, who decided to grind up 90% of my elk. I asked why?
Their response..."It must have been shot up" Nope, brought you good clean meat, and I did not bring in the rib cage, which is where the elk was shot.
Their response... "Well it was the first time we used him to cut game. He should not of done that. He won't be coming back to work for us."
In the end I got screwed. I have plenty of elk burger, a few steaks, out of a really nice elk.
These people are way disorganized to be butchering game and trying to keep track of it. Every complaint I had, was met with an excuse and a lack of accountability. They may mean well, but the bottom line is my buddies and I got screwed all over the place. We won't be going back after 14 seasons for consistently bringing them multiple animals per year.
Thank you...

Go to Costco and buy plastic food wrap and butcher paper and then get a medium quality grinder. Total cost = to about what you paid for crappy service from a butcher. And it will last for several seasons and then you are money ahead Then learn how to do it yourself. It is not that hard lots of info here and on line. Basically follow the mussel lines of the back quarters and steak and roast them grind the meat low on the legs.. Back straps, trim and steak. Front shoulder is mostly grind each to his own. Clean and trim as you go. Pretty hard to mess it up too much. It will save you a ton of money and you know exactly what you are getting.:yeah:

I started cutting my own a lot of years ago after dropping off a deer there. That deer came back with gravel in the burger and my shotgun slug wrapped neatly in a steak (along with a big plug of hair/blood). Couldn't believe it when I unwrapped that package.
At least I know the steaks were mine. No idea where that gravel came from. I guess maybe the wild game goes into a communal pot for grinding. ?
Anyhow, jump in and start cutting your own. You'll know it's yours, you'll know you got it all and you'll know you didn't get anything "extra".

I worked 4 seasons at a processor that did 90% game meat durring the season. I've see how long it takes to butcher animals, the --------------- field care, the customers that bring in 150lbs deer and expect 145lbs of meat back.

Quality costs $$. Doesn't matter what line of work your in. If you don't want to pay what a butcher would need to charge to clean his equipment every time he changed animals I would recomend learning to butcher your own.:yeah:

I don't see how you can defend this based on pricing. (BTW- I also worked at a butcher shop just out of school)
I told them at drop off that there was a shotgun slug somewhere in the front shoulder. I talked to the guy that cut and wrapped that deer on pickup about my slug. He said that it wasn't in there. Six months later, I popped a package of band saw cut steaks out of the fridge. There is an obviously large plug of hair sticking out of the middle of a large blood clot. As a guy, I had to stick my finger in it and out pops a 12 gauge foster slug.
I ask you, oblivious or just didn't care?
As to the gravel, that did not come from my deer. I had never seen gravel ground into meat before. What do you think that poor creature...that had been dragged down the road looked like on drop off?
Dirt? Gravel? And that ended up in my burger! I'll ask you again, oblivious or just didn't care?

I just cant see giving someone money to cut and wrap stuff....
most every part of your game is able to be "processed" in some very tasty edible form. Grinder and canner work great for the "stuff" you probably threw out or trim off, you would be surprised what a butcher actually grinds for your burger in stores.. as I used to say "ill take a pound of lips and a**holes". I even saws-all the bones into manageable sizes and boil down in a deep fryer turkey pot in the yard, removing bones as I go, adding water and more bones, ultimately condensing enough to can a couple cases of this wonderful soup stock or crock pot starter. All that meat that is between ribs, along spine, neck ect will boil off and is easily recovered into the stock jars. If you don't like grind look into corning game as well. Ever have Corn Elk and cabbage?
Pickled heart? Tongue? If you see it in a butchers window from a cut of cow, you can do exactly the same with any elk....
:tup:
as the commercial states - "you got this!"
Post by: Stein on November 19, 2014, 08:39:43 AM
I would echo several other guys, do it yourself. It is much less expensive, and I guarantee you will do a better job the first time than any commercial butcher. They simply cannot take the time to do everything exactly like you want and all of the detailed trimming and processing.
I consider it part of the hunt, DIY start to plate.

I'm not sure what went on with your animal. It could have been over looked or it could have been that the butcher didn't care. I wasn't there when they cut and wrapped it.
I butcher my own. Always have. I have taken only 2 animals to butchers in my 17 years of hunting. One deer about 15 years ago and last year I had a beef butchered. They went to 2 different butchers and I was happy with both. I used Littlerock Meats down south of me, I believe exit 62. The owners name is Mike.
Every year there is another butcher or 2 being bashed on here. Usually about the same thing, over priced, dirty meat, claims it's someone elses meat, shorting of meat, etc, etc

I take issue with your implication that cheap (or not) pricing reflects the quality of the work received. Should they offer the option of added gravel? A little pea gravel with the added fat is going to cost you. That doesn't sound ridiculous to you? As a meat cutter, they have the option to decline work. A good clean shop should decline soiled or stinky meat. There are health code rules in place about how often grinding/cutting equipment is to be cleaned and about grinding contaminated foods. Should a customer pay an upcharge for that?
It's been a long time since they processed that deer. It shouldn't still piss me off like it does.
To the OP, get a grinder, a good knife and a cutting table. It's like learning to gut, just jump in there and get your paws dirty. It's not tough but be prepared to spend a long night knocking it out. Cut your helpers a fair share. Lose the hunting partners that don't help process.

John and Bob have always been forth coming and honest with me. I have never had missing meat. They don't lose meat (at least for me) and they have always stepped to the plate when I have asked a question about my return product. If you don't bone the meat before dropping it off there is a loss of weight. period, thats how it works. If you think you can do better, go by the machines and step up. There is no need to bash the butcher on this forum, but it keeps getting done year after year. I can tell you this.... If I have a question or a complaint I would take it to the man that took my animal in, the same one that I shook hands with the day I dropped it off and no one else. If there wasn't a hand shake, well there was no deal period. thats how I roll. What I do see on this thread is a lot of talking to the wrong people or not talking to the owners if there is an issue. Next time someone has an issue hell talk to the guy next door. I'm sure he'll have an answer too.

Stewarts meat in McKenna is a risk and what I saw there made me quit buying anything there.
BUT I do take meat to MT. View meats on 112th to have them make me the 1/2 inch pepperoni sticks. I love their stuff... It is all about timing. Within a few months all the game will be out of their cycles. Than I bring my meat in for them to make my pepperoni. I get what I gave them. They do a wonderful job...

Any smart service company will have a woman at the "Face" person for the company. If you put a female in that spot it defuses the face to face confrontation and the worst case you get yelling.
But it seems like the fellow was not happy with his results either way.

Rainer Taxidermy in Roy, cut and wraps and does all the specialties. By far the best I've used.:yeah: I have used Zach for a few mounts and I take all my trim to him for summer sausage ,brats, or "crack". Very nice to do business with. Crack has cheddar cheese and jalapeņo and other seasonings it's by far my favorite.

Then maybe you can explain this to me, a couple years ago I looked around for pricing on a 10 + lb Crown of Pork for a family reunion Christmas dinner.
I was getting prices from $4.50 a pound to $6.00 a pound. I had had a bad experience with Butcher boys in the past so I was leery of trying them again. I gave them the benefit of the doubt.
I stopped in at Butcher Boys and was quoted $4.00 a pound! The "owner" he said, wrote me up an order at $4.00 a pound for a 10.2 lb Crown. December 23rd, I go to pick up my Crown, the place is crammed with people. I notice there is a paper bag wrapped package sitting above behind the counter with my name on it. $4.00 a lb is written on the bag.
I hand the guy behind the counter my ticket, he grabs the bag off the shelf, grabs a magic marker and scratches off the $4.00 a and writes $10.00 on it?
I ask him why he did that?
He says it costs $10.00 a lb.
I show him my ticket and where on the bag it is marked $4.00 a lb, and he puts the bag back on the shelf, and yells "next"!
He looks back at me and says take it or get out.
Our whole meal was planned around a 10 lb crown of pork. There is nowhere I could have found a replacement on such short notice. I hated paying a rip off like that, short of destroying our Family reunion I had no option but to pay it.
I paid the $10.00 lb, and told him he was dishonest man that would get no more business from me.
He laughed and said get the h3ll out.
I do know if I owned a business, and if 1/4 of the amount of people as there are just in this thread, say they had horrible dealings with my company?
I would be going out of my way to fix the problem.
Yet every year we hear more and more people who have been ripped off one way or another by Butcher Boys.
I find it ironic a Butcher Boys employee accusing anyone on here of being dishonest, though I do not know you, so I won't question your integrity.
You employer is a dishonest piece of work!
Every time Butcher Boys name is brought up in conversation, I will tell everyone I can how much of a ripoff they are!

Sorry you had your elk lost/stolen/screwed up. This place sounds like quite the dump.
From reading this thread I have decided that I will never use this business and if I hear the name brought up I will definitely warn people away and relate how multiple people have had horrible experiences with them.
I own my own business. If a client has an issue I listen to them and I do everything in my power to fix the issue. If I ever saw a thread like this on a forum somewhere talking about me or my business I would be deeply ashamed. I work hard to avoid making screw ups that would lead to this kind of thread. However, If I did see it then something I would not do is start posting and increasing the drama.
The responses I read here have emphasized to me how incredibly unprofessional this company is. The owner should be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed at how his employees are representing him and his business. While reading their posts I could almost hear chants of Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.........in the background.
Luckily, we still live in a capitalist system. If people want to create a negative atmosphere then they should expect word of mouth to cause their business to dwindle.

If a company offers a good service (or even better, great service) at a reasonable price word will get out and it will bring in more customers. Should they not say anything either? Same is true of bad service - word gets out and it will deter people from going there. Is how it works.
Take care of your customers and they'll take care of you

Keep in touch next season and I would be very willing to show/help you process (for free)....IF I get an animal and you are available the day I am cutting it, you could come over and watch or help in the process. Only way you will ensure that all the game makes it to your freezer is keeping eyes on the prize....should be well over what you are describing for return on an elk, easy 100+lbs ground, WAY more than 16 steaks and tenderloins, several nice roasts , and there should be 60-100lbs of additional scraps to can, freeze for crockpot or grind up... just sayin

So I also work at butcher boys and have for the past 10 years. It is crazy to me someone who is a grown man would come on here and slander us with false facts. You came in multiple times and caused a scene. First off we have never stolen anyones meat EVER! We are highly monitored by the game wardens. We do carry elk and deer for purchase it is also brought in from New Zealand got the receipts to prove it. The man who started this thread is very misinformed as to the cuts and what you get back. Smoked vs fresh meat there is always a difference. You will always lose more weight if u have stuff smoked. When u bone out your meat and bring it in a cutter needs to follow your lines which could have effected where the roasts and steaks are. Finally he has yet to talk to John who is the owner in person. He has just yelled and called all the girls names. In fact the girl he calls a meth head told him on multiple occasions if you are unhappy or believe something was messed up John would be happy to work with u to make it right. We also never called him to say he was missing meat he called us saying there was a bag missing which he knew he had already picked up everything. He did get at least 3 calls saying meat was ready because he was the contact person for 4 animals in a month span. Get your facts straight before going on social media and slamming a business who bust there ass to make sure they have done everything to the best of their abilities.
It seems like these workers that work there just joined the site to jump in the conversation
Post by: longwalker on November 21, 2014, 06:04:13 PM
I am happy to say, that I got a call from John this morning and he made it right. Like others have stated on here; John will take ownership of the problem and come up with a solution. I won't go into all the details, but I have no complaints and will come back next year. The guy cares about his customers. Thou I did not want anything that wasn't owed too me; I am grateful for what he did today. I encourage others to give these guys a shot and keep an open mind that businesses make mistakes. Perhaps the moderators can please delete this topic. Thank GH

You have no idea what any of the details are. What John knew or didn't know. I am very fair and would rather believe the good in people. If says this is what he knew or didn't know; then I'm going to take the mans word.
The details are in your first post. Sorry, but your bashing for day and then changing your tune so quick has me wondering if there really was any problem to begin with.
I have had a couple issues with a butcher and after the second time I will never go back, I always warn others........and NEVER change my stance no matter what they did to try and change my mind. The issues were legit and I will not chance it again.

I would throw in a plug for Olsens in Enumclaw. Since moving to WA about 12 years ago I have tried about 6 different butchers on both the east and west side. Wasn't really happy with any of them until I tried Olsens..I will never go anywhere else. Fantastic service, great quality and the best jerky, pep sticks, breakfast sausage you will ever have. They are simply top notch and I have never heard a bad word about them.
Just due to cost, I bought a grinder and have been doing my own cut and wrap for two years now but I still put aside about 20-30 pounds and have Olsens make something for me. Love that place and highly recommend it.

just go to Del Fox they are simply the best around! all your problems will be solved!!!! I do not work for them nor am I paid to say stuff for them, but for me brining in a deer and bear and getting more than 1/2 the hanging weight back is fine by me! They are stellar team with pretty girls that handle your meat well (no pun intended)
I buy all my meat from del fox. 1/2 pigs ,1/4 beef ,brauts and so on. Never had any problems and I wont buy store bought meat again. I take my game animals to them every year and they do a great job. All my friends also bring their game there too and haven't been disappointed.

That was a weird turnaround.

I just tell it like it is, and call it how I see itAnd every member that reads through this is perfectly capable of calling it as they see it.
The way I see it, I would never take your reviews seriously as you may just be using this forum to get something for yourself. It isn't about giving important insight into a business or business practice. It was about getting something for yourself.
Just telling it like it is, because after all, I call it like I see it.

Are you kidding me? This is hilarious. So them losing your meat is ok with you? After all of the bs you went through you would still recommend them to others and you hope others will do business with them? Wow.QuoteI just tell it like it is, and call it how I see itAnd every member that reads through this is perfectly capable of calling it as they see it.

Well I never "asked" them to "give" me anything. I paid $1048 and expected to get everything I paid for. Just as you or any other forum member would. Even when he offered to refund me $200 I told him I could careless about $200. All I wanted was the meat they "openly admitted" to losing, which I paid for. Nothing more...nothing less. I shared by experience both pro and con. Essentially you are saying; because I did not continue to pile on The Butcher Boys that you don't take my review seriously. Had I of only spewed negative garbage about them; THEN you would take my review seriously. That would be a bias review. Regardless; I could care less if you or anyone else take my review seriously.
Clearly The Butcher Boys has had their share of negative reviews on Hunt Wa. My review is not going to be the ONE review that discourages somebody to not do business with them.

I use Double T Meats in Eatonville, they are very good and I will always support good local businesses.
Stewarts is hit and miss, but I think that's because they are so busy they can't spend much time with you to get all your particular wants and needs correctly, but they do fair work. They are my go to for smoked pork chops if I can get there middle of the day during the week.

I've sat back quietly following since my first and only post .. The unfounded name calling from the beginning spoke volumes on this mans character and I'm deeply saddened that this was overlooked by so many. On a positive note since joining this site I've found some amazing recipes. Cheers to you guys ! :tup:
Please stick around and share some recipes of your own.

As many have stated it's simply not that hard. Don't over think it.
