I hunt in Garret couny, md. Only problem is I don't know of any repitable butchers in the area. Can anybody help on this subject?

I had the same problem a couple years ago when I started hunting. I first found some butchers that worked with hunters for the hungry (listed in MD hunting guide and on website). I then went to the local bow shop and got some recommendations from them. Then I called a few butchers in the phone book, a couple of them also butchered deer.

I have only bagged one deer, I plan to try a couple of butchers this season depending on my luck

Hope this helps.

Why Not do it yourself?

I will call my wifes uncle who lives on backbone mountain to see who they go too. I think its that sports shop on Route near the WV line.

I have been butching deer for years and years now, and it has became a dreaded thing these days. Takes me 4-5 hours to cut/wrap, and grind, and dispose of the rest. But I have yet to find a butcher that does it the way I like.

thanks bigcountry, My Mom lives in Mountain Lake Park. She knows some people on backbone mountain. If you don't mind me asking, What is your wifes uncle name? I think I might get some books on butchering. Might just give it a try. PM me with the name if you want. Thanks.

Don't know how far west in Garrett you hunt, but I use a guy 20 mins over the border off the Cooper's Rock exit of I79 in WV. I know it's a little ways, but throwin' it out there.
