RickRaw 3 Report post Posted January 8, 2018 Have 30 lbs of deer I would like to get made into pepperettes. In the past we have gone to European but weren't terribly happy last time and wanted to try North Country. Just called and they aren't accepting any meat for at least the next month. No idea why but now I am not sure where to get them made? Anywhere else people tend to like? We prefer our pepperettes a bit drier. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"call us at the end of January and we will tell you when you can bring your meat". Is this because they clean their machines and don't do any "wild game" for a period of time?

RatherBeFishin 86 Report post Posted January 8, 2018 Yes. I know they clean the machines and stop taking orders of wild game before christmas. Always get ours done at commisary ! Highly recomend them ! They have store made pepperettes there made out of beef you could always test out to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foozer 194 Report post Posted January 9, 2018 We got deer pepperettes, deer breakfast sausages, along with medium moose smokies, and mild ones with cheese, all done a Bogdala's Smoked Meats on Simpson. We're very happy with all of it! I picked up my last order in late-November and he told me that I would have to have any other orders in soon as they didn't take any around the holidays due to Christmas orders. I bet that with Christmas, then putting together a list for wild game after the holidays, that the waiting list gets pretty long as tracker mentioned above.

joks 26 Report post Posted February 14, 2018 Just called North country today and they said at least another month. Seems they have to build separate facilities for wild game now so it is totally separated. Anyone know if anybody is taking meat for sausages? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't impressed with their smokies when I tried them when they first opened up. I may have to go there if no one else is taking meat.

I've heard mixed results from Tims, and read some things about them on another message board. not overly impressed i brought 60 pounds 20 for cheese smokies and 40 into pepperettes was told around 3 bucks a finished pound which is similar to north country. usually costs about 160 bucks for 20 pounds of each at north country. all in upon pick up my bill was over 500 bucks by the time they charged out the pork (40pounds) and cheese for the cheese smokies (30 more dollars). so needless to say i got 23 pounds of cheese smokes from 20 pounds of deer and my 40 pounds of pepperettes turned into over 80 pounds of pepperettes which more resemble a spicy keilbasa then pepperettes and came in approx 20' long solid coil ( not formed into pepperettes). Thought i would try them since i was desperate and north country doesnt have a firm date but really wish i would have waited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLK 38 Report post Posted February 17, 2018 Just picked up mine from Bogdala's . I brought in 20# for pepperettes and 20# for fresh sausage. I haven't tried the fresh sausage yet but the pepperettes are as good as any i have had. The cost was $160.00 and that included vacuum sealing. Have been going there for many years and will continue to do so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds identical to what friends of mine experienced when bringing a moose in a few years back. Added way too much pork to the ground meat and smokies, the butcher said he did it to "make it taste better" and were overcharged like you were. I'm not here to trash a business, but here is a link to my friend's experience from a few years back on Ontario Trophy Bucks forum... http://s4.zetaboards.com/The_Hunting_Forum/topic/1102410/1/ Quote ** People often ask me why I like hunting and fishing so much...

fishingfinn 42 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 I brought some deer meat to Tims a few years ago to make into fresh italian sausages. Same story as everyone else, overpriced and honestly, the sausages were horrible. I now bring my deer to Franks meat locker to have it cut. Price is good, and I had them make some fresh italians, and they were ok but not as good as Sausage pros used to be! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
