Anyone process their own deer


Recommended Posts

If so, and if you don't use the feet, I could use some deer feet. I am working on a project and could really use some fresh deer feet.

I process my own, but don't know how I would get the feet to you. Frozen and shipped?

or frozen and I can meet you somewhere.

How much leg do you want with them? Front, back, all? Does size matter?

 

I won't hunt until muzzleloader season, which begins the 8th of November. Surely, between the boys and myself, we can help accommodate you.

If I get a deer this season, they're all yours if you want to drive to Clarksville to pick them up.

I'm still trying but as soon as I get one, you're welcome to them. I will have to drive to Nashville anyway, that's where I get mine processed Edited by rugerla1

we are close enough that this should work! I'll take whatever you can give me.
The last ones I got were cut right under the scent gland thing.

Where are you located at? I'm down in Columbia but would be willing to cut any I get off the carcass.
If had known sooner, I got 2 a couple weeks ago that I could have saved.

Call Mike Flowers at Flowers Nursery and Deer processing in Nashville.  He processes almost 3,000 deer a year at his facility on Eaton's Creek Road in Nashville.  I think he composts the feet and bones.

 

Give him a call.

That's where I take my deer, great folks. I didn't even think to mention calling them for extra feet. Good idea!

UncleJak, Most processers will give you the feet if you ask them. But, I'll save you some. When I ran my Taxidermy Shop, I used to make awful good money making things from deer feet.

I do all my own processing and I will start hunting Nov 12. Would you want the feet froze in a zip lock bag ? I use the meat all the way down to where the legs kinda turns into lots of tendons which ranges around 8-12 inches from the hoofs. I cut cut it a little higher if you want. My wife and me like to go into the Nashville and Springfield area around 2 times a month to shop. I can freeze the feet and when I go through there I can bring them to meet you somewhere in the Springfield and Nashville area. Just post a picture of how your project turns out later :up:

I use to make gun racks out of the feet back when I was young and hunted a lot. My brother was still doing it right up until he passed away a few years back. My son and grandsons and several of our friends kept him in deer hoofs plus he would visit several small processors in the area. He would make about 80 to 100 gun racks a year and would custom  build some for folks. He did also make a few knives back many years ago but that got to be to much work getting the good steel so he quit making them.................. :up:  :up:
