Used to go to baiers meats in Red Deer, but they have since shut down, so this year i am thinking i might learn to cut it myself, and then take the trim to Innisfail or somewhere else for the jerky and sausage.

I do all the butchering myself and take the meat to get processed to Viking Meats. Most butcher shops I know of only take boneless meat.
If there`s a boneless spiecies of deer out there, fill me in it would make the job much easier lol...............

I also do the butchering myself. Where is Vicking Meats???
Oh and the Airdrie Butcher takes full animals, bone in hair removed.

In Viking on hwy 14.
It seems fewer and fewer meat shops will take whole game due to CWD and new regulations from Health & Safety.
My previuos favourite butcher was Bobs Custom Cuts in Bonneville, he shut his doors completly to hunters and only does commercial
He made the best pepperoni I ever tasted

He ain't cheap! If you deal with Viking meats, ensure your stuff is good to go. That includes deboned, trimmed - anything that ensures that your "wet wieght" doesn't have any waste in it. They do good work though.
