Don't use a processor, but when I had a fly in friend with a non-resident cow tag we did. His outbound was a week out (killed opening morning) 90 degrees so no hanging. Went to town to the only one processor left, they were full from the juniors hunt the previous week. They were gracious enough to take it in so he could get his meat on the plane. done in two days vac sealed and froze. He did tip them for that fast work. $400 for processing in WY. Crazy money. About a buck 25 to 50 here. Best to learn to do it yourself, processor'a are a dying breed.

No I don't, but I bring them multiple animals each season and refer all of the people I help harvest animals to them. We are on a texting basis now and always lets me and my colleagues drop animals off even when they are "full". Typing that out it made me think, "Maybe I should tip."

You want to give a real tip? Send quality people his way. That will be appreciated far more than a few extra bucks

I butcher my own game but if I did take it to a processor I wouldn’t tip. Thats what the fee I paid is for.

I typically do my own.

Did tip last year when had processor do a WY antelope I asked for rush delivery on - to make flight. The ladies there did a great job.

Not a big fan of the modern tip culture. Charge me enough that you make what you need to off your service and take that tip jar outta my face.

Ok, I guess so are mechanics, plumbers, electricians, machinists, etc. or any trade for that matter.
