Attention Hawk talking Hunters

Hi all.
As most of you know I am a butcher. :evil:
As most of you know I have no boat. :cry:
So I have come up with an idea :idea: that could be a learning experience for all as well as some fun.
Here it is:
What I propose is a trade of talents and skills
I am willing to cut venison for hawktalkers at no charge, repeat no monies would change hands, in exchange for some boating/fishing time.I would really like to do some boat fishing this fall and I am sure a few hawktalking hunters and their respective hunting parties would like to save a few dollars in what can be an expensive season.
Now to assure everyone that this is legit. I will not accept fishing days in advance of the job. In other words-- I no cut deer then I no go fish.Cut first then fillet later.
All I require is the hunter provide wrapping materials (unless arrangements are made ahead of time).
This can be done right in the garage/backyard, hunt camp.
This includes moose as well ( all you Newf's go back to the rock and bring back a caribou). :roll:
Give it some thought and let me know.

This thread has been posted with permission of Bobber and I would like to thank Bobber and the admin.for letting me post this idea. :!:

Great idea Bottom Feeder.... :D :D I'll definitely take you up on that offer. Whats your work schedule like..??? Do you have time to fish mid-week...??? I pretty much only fish Muskie now till freeze when I'm not in the treestand.

Better sharpen those knives and I'll sharpen my hooks.

I've butchered many deer myself --but would like to see a pro do it.

I would definately would take you up on this --too bad the distances probably wouldn't allow it.

Do you just cut, or do you do pepperoni too?

Hey bottom feeder. I do hunt and although we do get our share of deer and moose my whole family is pretty much butchers. However if you ever want to come to the pembroke area I would be more than happy to take you out for a day of fishing this fall. Maybe a day of duckhunting/fishing let me know.

Sheesh you too Bacon? Wow how many past/present butchers we have here? Think you have a great idea there BottomFeeder. I'd take you up on it in a sec, had I a boat. Hell, I haven't even had venison or moose in so long I can't rem what it tastes like.

Are you guys all butchers or are you meatcutters?

Markus--I am a meat cutter although I could dress an animal if I had to.I only cut and make sausage w/ the trimmings
Kpin-- any time, any reason you want to shore fish, thats alright too.
jbarker--Thanks for the offer! I will take you up on that for sure.
Bacon--What do you do now? For years I cut out of a butcher shop(Simpsons), now I usually cut at friends farms or camps, I bring only 2 knives and a hand saw all cuts are bone less. ( I am thinking about renting a portable band saw for the season)Roasts or chops. moose is great because you yield so much more that you can do more with it.
Moondog--I often go to fort erie so you never know, a side trip might be arranged.
Thanks all for the response so far! This is great and it seems we have quite a few cutters on board.
All in all when you and/or your party are going out, let me know and we can make arrangements to cut on your return.
Evenings are good too.

You have a seat in my boat bottom feeder.

I succesfully fish Musky close to your residential location. maybe a 15 minute drive

October gives awesome odds! At the moment, the bite has turned on big-time!

95% chance of catching a Musky on anygiven day in October
85% chance of catching a Musky greater than 45"

I gaurantee you will not be dissapointed. We have alot of fun on the water.

PM me ASAP. No need to butcher before we fish. :wink:

If you hunt with a party and bag a few I will teach you how its done. With more than 1 everyone gets to learn on a cut or 2.With some repitition it becomes easy, ask Bacon he will tell you.

You can add me to the list of "past life" butcher... I worked in that trade for about 6 years. I only cut my own game for now but once I get myself set up with a little more equipment, I'll do more cutting for others.

Great idea you had BF, a boat ride for meat cutting!!!
