                               OTHER MEAT CARE OPTIONS
For the hunter that is not so skilled with a butcher knife or is just
simply worn out & tired from the hunt. There are two other options
for hunters to utilize for getting their trophy animal taken care of
both properly and efficiently.
Hunters will find that the Backwoods Whitetails Lodge is set up to be
a one stop style hunting lodge. As whitetail hunting professionals we
know that as soon as the trigger is pulled, the real work begins. Due
to the sometimes uncooperative weather conditions, warm outside
temperatures and/or conditions that can play a factor in being able
to quickly & safely preserve the meat and/or care for the cape of
each trophy animal. We have installed an Indoor Trophy Whitetail
Processing Area
(shown above). This area was built with the trophy
whitetail hunter in mind. No matter if the weather is hot, windy, rainy
or cold. If you are the hunter who prefers to care for your own game?
Know that you can comfortably care for your harvest inside and out
of the weather. Our Whitetail Trophy Care Center is complete with an
electric winch & hoist system that was designed with a sliding rail
system that can support & hold multiple deer at the same time.
There is a refrigerator for the purpose of cooling out your meat
before freezing. As well we have a few chest freezers on sight that
will help to get your game meat frozen & prepared for the long ride
home. Our Meat Care center
(shown below) is a complete meat
processing area containing stainless steel counters, cutting board,
Outdoor Edge butcher kits & skinning knives, stainless steel sinks
and meat wrapping station. There is no charge for the use of our
facility but we do ask that hunters help cover the cost of
processing/butchering materials purchased by Backood's Whitetails.
