Any reccomendations for butchers in the area? Schroon Lake or south in the vicinity of 87.

I don't know, but have a couple suggestions; obtain a local paper (like pennysaver or hi neighbor, etc). Or call the wildlife staff in warrensburg, they're the folks that inspect them.

What do you need butchered ?

 

[NirvanaFan]

Doing it yourself isn't an option?

Your not disposing of scars remains are you?

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, butcher shop (to buy meat) or an actual butcher (to process meat)? If you don't mind traveling a litter father from 87, hop on 74. I know in Ticonderoga for a butcher shop there is Two Brother's Meat Market on Montcalm St, for meat processing check out the Adirondack Meat Company (their "plant" is on 74 and have a shop on Wicker St.).

I assumed because airborne posted this in hunting that he is anticipating someone taking care of his venison (and/or bear meat) that he may gather in Hoffman Notch this season..... So I believe he is seeking a deer processor.

These are processors throughout the state that take part in the venison donation program. At least it will give you a resource for a few possibilities.

Deer pocessing. It's a longshot up there, but I don't want to be left trying to figure this out after the fact. I prefer not to do it myself at this time. Maybe in the future. The main concern is the 5.5 hour drive home in October rather than December.

If you quarter your deer in the field. How much of the rest of it must you save?

BONING OUT DEER

Some hunters who take a deer in remote areas may wish to bone out the deer and pack out the meat. This is lawful but you must retain the carcass tag with the boned out meat. From the dec.

 

[Airborneguy]

As a last resort we're thinking quartering/boning, but neither of us have done it before so we were hoping to avoid that. I am bringing a large cooler just in case we have to resort to that.

Do you have to keep the head?

Better keep the antlers at least if taking w/o, or in a closed WMU for DMPs.....

You could always leave a nut attached to a quarter like they do out west.

One could, but I generally like to remove all glands and organs from my meat as soon as convenient. Other problem, it could have been an antlerless buck...

 

[WarrenDee]

You may want to try knocking on some doors, making some calls in and around Pottersville. Somebody up there will know somebody, I'm guessing

Haven't seen any requirements for deer in NY like the requirement to leave a wing on a cleaned duck. As long as the tag is accompanying the meat you are ok to travel.

You're going to use your doe tag for that anyways, so there's no reason to leave a nut attached.

You don't have to leave one attached, but if you quarter it, it's definitely showing that you are on the "up and up". There is no regulation saying that you have to take the antlers with you, so leaving a nut attached isn't really necessary though.
