Took my 2011 deer to Todd Crabtree in Custer/Whatcom County. Good guy and has a lot of choices on his products, you can reach him at 360-366-7450.

Owens Meats in Cle Elum is still family owned and have been operating since about 1887. Do a great job and guarantee their work. They offer a nice variety of smoked sausage, jerky etc...

TIM'S In tha back of ROSES IGA in BUCLEY,WA. Spendy but good!!1
-
Took a spike out of the Manashtash to Ownes years ago. Got just two boxes back. Just sayin.
I hear you about that sh!t stopped taking stuff there in 04 because I wasn't happy with their work then tried them again this year with an elk and seems like things haven't changed. Will not be going again.
I take all my stuff to kelso meats in snohomish.
-
I've been unimpressed with Kelsos.

Stacy custom meats in Ephrata seems to do a good job for my family. They have processed 2 calves, 2 deer and an elk for my family in the last two years. All was done very well.

I've been unimpressed with Kelsos.

I do my own processing but I buy spices and casings from Olson's meats and smokehouse in Enumclaw, Wa. They are great. All kinds of awards for their products.
-
For the people who complain about not getting their meat back try cleaning in up before bringing it in. Butchers don't gut your blood shot animal. Better yet process it yourself. It is part of hunting. Just my opinion.
-
I do my own but there is Stewarts in McKenna.

MATT"S CUSTOM MEAT
705 North Maple Hill Rd.
Kelso 360-414-1073
They have great Peperoni in all different flavors and great summer sausage. And you get your own meat back.
Just on a side note if you are wanting to do sausages or peperoni and you are in SW Washington stay away from Bolars in Castle Rock. The meat that you put in is not what you are getting back, it gets thrown into a mixed batch then is returned to you. If you just want standard cutting and wrapping they are fine, very nice people. I do alot of the summer sausage I found out Bolars did not give you your own meat back so I switched to Matt's Custom Meat

I could go on and on about John and Mary Tuss but if your in that neck of the woods, go see for yourself. Just don't plan on dropping off your meet and coming back three weeks later, plan on three days or so (except smoked n cured)! They have the best speciality meats you will ever taste. Get a variety pack and find your favorite, the Landjagers are incredible! If you can't find time to do your own, T-n-T is worth the drive.

Mike Lind is the best I have found yet for game/beef/pork. I have been going there for the last 8 years and its perfect everytime. He is located Maple Valley/Kent easthill area. I wish I had something ready for pick up right now!

:yeah: :)
I took my 400 lb elk there this year . First time my brother in law uses them. They were excellent. hands down. For West Side.
On east side we take all elk to ;NILE VALLEY GAME PROCESSING- 509-653-1647 OR CELL 509-952-4188 OR CELL 509 961-0576
They are good and done 3 elk for us. But beware you will get some ribbing if you shoot a calf they carry on about it still being a baby and so on. I heard them do it to a guy who brought one in. Larry doesnt like spoiled meat either. If you drag it throught the mud or take days to get it to him save the trip I have seen him turn them away at the truck. Soon as your meat hits the ground give him a call they have lots of good info.
My group prides themselves on bringing in clean cool well care for game to any butcher. Larry & Barbara will compliment you on if you do.

Don't use Lind's. They ripped me off when I took some trimmings in for pepperoni. The pepperoni sucked too.

Great people. Great service.

Try all the specialty product you will be very pleased. John is a retired butcher of many years and he kept doing it for a hobby and his client base has grown tremendously by word of mouth, they don't advertise publicly but people in the know, know. If you want the best straight and honest best quality and personal service contact them. With John and Mary its personal your not just another guy with another carcase. :EAT:

Sounds like I am going to have to check out TnT.
I have been using Del Fox Meats for 5 years now and have enjoyed the product given back. I have taken Deer there, Antelope, Wild Pigs, etc. and it always taste great. I have also bought beef there. They are part of a grass fed beef co-op that comes out of the Pullman area and also a pig co-op that comes off of Lopez Island.

They've been in their "down" period for some time now. They're also expensive and they won't take boned out meat. Just save yourself the headache and learn to do it yourself :twocents:

"You Can't Beat Dick's Meat"
I've taken a lot of meat here for sausage, pepperoni, kielbasa, polish rings and they do great work. They also brew their own beer. You can take your meat in and sit down for lunch while your there.
-
Northwest Sausage & Deli does a good job, but just remember, they only take in already boned out meat.
-
I used Thomson's custom meats in Twisp the last 2 years and have been very happy with them and brought them our deer on Saturday. They also cold store your deer for you if you want to cut it yourself when it's to warm to hang at camp like this year.

Here are a couple more. One is "Littlerock Meats" which just relocated to Winlock.

Then there is "Heritage Meats," here in Rochester:

I do my own but there is Stewarts in McKenna.
they have been caught mixing up peoples meet before! had multiple cases where we brought our beef to them and werent impressed! the only thing they got going anymore is there jerky and even thats over priced.
-
The Rainier Taxidermy & meat processing is the place to go i personally know the whole family and trust me when i say you wont be dissapointed in there Pepperoni, breakfast sausage, summer sausage, burger, or my personal favorite there "CRACK PEPPERONI" if you havent tried it you dont know what your missing.
-
The best thing to do is to cut it yourself. It is cheaper and you know you won't get someone else's bloodshot deer mixed in. Almost all butchers mix game when grinding just to be more efficient.
-
Great list Dale. Talk about a helpful byproduct of hunt-wa membership, better than any form of the yellow pages! :tup: (See page 1, post 1!)
-
home meat service in shelton does a great job have done hundreds of pigs for me never any problems
-
Cutting it yourself is a rewarding part of the harvest process. It's cool when you hunt it, shoot it, cut it, and eat it, and you know without a doubt where it came from. Just don't use your wife's good dishes while you butcher it, she might get ticked like mine did.
-
Been going to Del Fox for quite some time but recently used TnT meats on Camano Island to process all of my goose meat from last year and spring goose hunt. I had them just put it all into pepperoni sticks and the product is great, nice flavor and spice to it. Wife called to go pick it up but they said they were going towards Everett anyways and brought down the meat to her, saving a trip. Very nice of them. Recommend them or Del Fox for sure.
-
Just a note for those who are thinking of or have used Heritage Meats in Rochester. He is no longer processing wild game. Since he was USDA certified all he has time for is livestock. He is still the best cattle and hog butcher around, imo.

It's right off hwy 6 just down from Gailey's store.
Little on the pricy side at $100 flat per deer and $2.50/lb on peperoni with a 25lb minimum. The cutting is a little sloppy, which is evident in the very uneven steaks. I don't think I would use them again unless I was in a serious pinch.
We always used Jerry Zumble with Francis Meats for all our beef and game, but he retired a while back. Still makes peperoni that he sells at his shop from what I hear... Best there is... Although get the spicy stuff, he's polish and it's just about right.

There are so many of us that hunt in other states and we are required to bone meat from many states before bringing it back to Washington so I thought we should expand our list to include wild game cutters in other states.
Please add info for any meat cutters in Washington or any other state that you have done business with and would go there again.

Took my 2011 deer to Todd Crabtree in Custer/Whatcom County. Good guy and has a lot of choices on his products, you can reach him at 360-366-7450.

In the old days i used J and R meats in Wenatchee(Malaga) they are no longer there. They were always great to me.
The last Elk I harvested I took to Owens in Cle Elum. The store front looked fine but when you go to the Processing place down the street you may be surprised.
Not very clean. The area outside the hanging room was dirty. It stunk of old cat piss. There was an old electric skillet with molded over left over food in the office.
The yield was good. The pepperoni was more like a bland meat stick with tough casings. Steaks were more like inconsistant cuts of meat with small pieces thrown in each package. The better way would have been to thick cut a steak and then open it up butterfly style and it looks like a large normal sized steak then.
The wrapping had been done by some high school girls that left air gaps all over the place. In 6 months I had over 45 lbs of wasted frezzer burnt meat that i had to trim and re package. Summer sausage was under cooked or somewhat rare and bland as well. Couple of Top Sirloin roasts became dog food.
I spoke with Dan on the phone and he actted like he had never heard of such a thing. Later the following year I spoke to the owner up on the mountain while snowmobiling and he knew exactly who would have wrapped so poorly and said he would make it right if I ever came back.
Oh..almost forgot. All the meat that I had to trim the frezzer burn off of from Owens I took to Glondos in Cle Elum. I now own a commercial vacume packer...Glondo..He doesnt do processing but is one heck of a sausage maker. He does not mix your meat with the tough dirty gamey crap from someone else. It is spotless there and he does his work in view of the public! His spicy Italian sausage was awesome. when I went there with meat for sausage I thought I had about 35 lbs..he called me the next day to let me know that it weighed 48lbs. His Honesty was amazing.
I will try Nile in Naches.
-
I was warned about the owner/manager of Nile being a d*ck. When I got my cow and drove it over late season last year, I wasn't disappointed. When I asked how much it cost to process an elk, he looked at me like I was an idiot, pointed to the sign and said "same thing it's always cost". How the hell am I supposed to know that, since it was my first time in? I asked what the turn around time was, and he said six weeks! I walked out, don't think I'll be going back. I took it to Double D's in Mountlake Terrace. They were okay.
-
I guess this might be a stupid question but why don't u cut and wrap your own game you save hundereds and no wait. I can understand sausage and jerky but hamberger and steaks it makes no sense to pay someone when you can cut and wrap a deer in about an hour and do it for about twenty dollars.

Some people either don't have the time or have never done it before so it's easier to take it to a cutter. I've cut a lot of my own meat, but have taken even more to cutters since I often don't have much time. :twocents:

I have had great luck with Golden Steer in Bellevue. Will be back.

The only other one in kitsap besides farmer george, as far as I know. He is right off of 303, but mapquest and gps gets it wrong ususally, but a little bit. Call him for directions.

I have used Sweeney's a few times over the years and have not been overly impressed. This past year I had an issue with some pepperoni they made from some elk scrap I brought in. It tasted horrible to the point where no one in our family will eat it. The fat they added tasted rancid. In fact, we cut some sticks apart and seperated the meat from the fat to make sure that is what the problem was. I complained about it and brought a pack of the pepperoni back in for them to try (the owners were not there at the time, so I left it there). They called some time later and said that it tasted fine. No interest in making the situation right. To me its worth the one hour drive to Sunrise Meats in Port Angeles. They do a better job.

I do my own processing but I buy spices and casings from Olson's meats and smokehouse in Enumclaw, Wa. They are great. All kinds of awards for their products.
Ducks? I didn't see any ducks in the pic :chuckle:

This is who I use when I need a butcher in the Spokane area. I have always been really happy with the product they put out and they also promise that your hamburger is yours and not mixed with others.

In the Casper, Wyoming area I will definitely recommend Dan's Meats in Evansville and Country Style Meats in Glenrock. I do most of my own, but when I didn't have time Dan's was my go-to, they did my moose and an elk, and I've used them to make sausage too. Several friends have used Country Style Meats since forever, and are very pleased.

I go to Columbia Valley meats, best in Whatcom county from everything I have tried. Good price if you de-bone it before you bring it in, great turn around, knows how to use a smoker and you get back all your own meat-

Beware of Crabtree, I have heard good things but personally had a horrible experience a few years back. Brought 2 deer in, made 2 trips back for meat and all I got was some steaks even though I had already paid for 30lbs mix of summer sausage/jerky, he said it would be done shortly. Called, left voice mails, made another trip out there and nothing. Kept saying it would be done shortly. Long story short I never received the meat I brought in and had pre paid for. One of the worst "businesses" I have ever dealt with in my life.
-
I do most of my own butchering. But for my grinding/ sausage needs, I have been using these guys:
Double DD Meats - Phone: 425-778-7363
5602 232nd SW - Mountlake Terrace WA 98043
Awesome service and product. I've seen people bring in whole, skin on deer and they took care of it all.
Plus it's just a cool shop, never seen so many hot sauces in one place.

When I lived in Idaho I would take my deer and elk to Tackett's Wild Game Processing. They are very clean and have a viewing window into the butcher area so that you can watch them process your meat. They also have a 100% guarantee that you only get back your own meat.

We cut up a lot of our own, but when we don't, we take them to Walt's Game Cutting in Yakima. They do a great job and really take their time cutting up our animals. Their pepper sticks are second to none. I don't recommend their summer sausage though, not the best I've had. However, their bfast sausage is great. Very affordable prices as well.

I haven't seen them mentioned here so I'll give a shout-out to Fischer Meats in Issaquah, on Front st. I have taken elk there the last 2 years for ground, pep and jerky and have been very pleased. Good clean shop and nice guys. The product I have gotten back has been delicious. I'll be back for sure!
-
I've used Golden Steer in Bellevue several times, and they do fine work.
I've always liked the sausage (particularly summer sausage) by B&E Meats in Des Moines and Burien. I didn't know until recently that they do full processing, but I took my deer there this year and just got it back today. All looks good.
-
I took a wild buffalo into Owens Meats and will be picking it up today. I will repost my opinion after I pickup today.

I picked up the meat at Owen's, sorry for the delay in re-posting my thoughts. At first, I was thinking the meat I recieved was a bit light. Than I compared it with the 1/4 cow my sister just purchased and now I have changed my mind. The meat cutter spoke with me prior to cutting my buffalo and did what I asked. We have eaten some and the cuts were done well. My experiance was positive and I would take my big animals to them again. (I cut my own deer.)
-
For what its worth, I will drive from Wenatchee to CJ's Custom meats in Wapato 509-877-2227. best I have had. its a bit of a wait but very happy with the end product. :twocents:

I like Owens. Just to far to drive. Now I go to hang em high in republic. Terry does a great job and a good guy to boot. :tup:

I've taken a deer to Nile valley meats and they did a great job and quick turn around. Would love to cut up my own but don't have time and being early season archery can't let it hang.

Phone number and contact info for 'Hang 'em High Custom (meat) Cutting' in Republic WA: 244 Barrett Creek Rd. Republic WA. Ask for Terry Koepke, or Susan Rounds. Terry will also make sausage and pepperoni from your game (as well as do other 'smoked' meats). Lastly, Terry does taxidermy work under his side business which is called: "The Body Shop". Contact number and address same as above.

:bumpin:
Please post any meat cutters you've had a positive experience with? THANKS
-
I have taken several deer to Eastern Oregon Mobile Slaughter in Hermiston, OR a bit of a drive but worth it to me. http://easternoregonmobileslaughter.com/
I have even called them at home and they came in about 30 min to take me deer.
-
Do any cutters around here vacuum seal the meat? When we hunt in Buffalo, Wy. we use Bighorn meats to cut our deer and antelope and they Vac. seal and it's great.
-
Anyone in Goldendale? I used to have a number for one but it wasn't in service last time I called it.

Yes sir! I use them for sausage. I prefer Stewarts in McKenna for summer sausage and jerky though. I have a freezer full of elk now, including jerky and summer sausage, and will take a whole deer to Farmer Georges for Italian sausage. Will probably gift my second deer this year.

Farmer Goerge did all my pepper sticks. Awsome.

Regarding Northwest Sausage and Deli in Centralia, they don't do butchering only game meat processing. If you bring in the meat already cut they'll grind and process but not work with a carcass.

"Trial and Error Meats" in Blaine, Washington Bobby Boyer and her number is 360-303-6748. She has been cutting meat for 30 years.

I recently took 60 pounds of elk burger to Egger Meats in north Spokane and had pepperoni sticks made. We've blown through most of it already, I think those are the best pepperoni sticks I've ever eaten! I highly recommend Egger's peperoni sticks!

I'm pretty sure Andersons in republic isn't cutting meat anymore. There is also hangemhigh just outside republic for those that need a butcher.

About 99% sure bolars custom meats in castle rock closed up an now is a greenhouse for Medical herbs :chuckle:

Thompson's Custom Meats in Twisp.
They won't be busy with deer, given the state of the Methow herd.

In Vancouver:
Butcher Boys - (360) 693-6241
Top Choice - (360) 896-8865
I haven't used Butcher Boys for game but they do a great job on their farmed/ranched meats. I've sent a couple of animals to Top Choice and was pleased with the results.
They also recommended bringing deer in with the hide intact. Skinning it in the field often means more dirt and loss when the butcher trims it up.
-
Thompsons Meats in Twisp stopped taking any game or domestic animals in September. The son Seth is now cutting meat nearby at Lookout Mt. Meats also in Twisp. They butcher about a dozen hogs and maybe 5 beef a week and can take as many deer or elk as comes in
