Question for anyone near Missoula?

[25contender]

Hey guys This year I will be hunting south of Missoula during archery season and would like to find a good meat processor in or around Missoula. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a Gentleman up around Kallispell but really don't want to go that far north. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Mark

BB Knows his stuff, I'm sure you have a good recommendation there.

Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate the suggestion and its even closer to where I will be. Sort of have to do a little regrouping this year. Once again thanks...Mark

I use Christine Schmitt. Really good and inexpensive. She is out in the Charlo Heights area.

BB is pretty much a big deal around this forum. Take what he says for concrete info.

One more for Hamilton Pack.. its where I go. What are you hunting down here?

If you want the perfect breakdown of variety... Burger at @ 10%, no roasts, polish dogs, ground sausage spicy and Italian, and of course your prime cut of steaks combo gets me through every year

Gotta get some hot slim jims thrown in there, too Montana. Yum.

Will be down Elk hunting during bow season in some old haunts of mine (Unless I draw a super tag!! ). I will be down for about 16 days.

After you get your meat taken care of, a great taxidermist in that area is Game Trails Taxidermy. Steve and Chris are good Montana guys who do some great work. They are out of Florence, MT -- just south of Missoula off U.S. 93. Bitterroot Bulls may know of their work too or may be able to suggest his favorite in the area. I just know they did an outstanding job on an elk for me a few years ago and they were super to work with. Good luck on the hunt!
