Giving meat to Friends
I got thinking about this a few months back when a friend brough a bunch of deer and elk sausage on an ice fishing trip. I knew he didn't hunt and he said that he got it all from his neighbor. All professionally processed and wrapped. My guess is that he may have have 20-25 pounds. I told my friend that I thought that we should pay his neighbor for the sausages. He said not to worry about it his neighbor doesn't care.
Let's say that you are lucky enough to fill 2-3 tags in a year. Whitetail, mullie and maybe a moose or elk. For me that would be a lot of meat and would be more than happy to share with friends but I'm not a fan of cutting meat so from now on everything will be professionally processed. If you give 4-5 friends 20-25 lbs that could add up.
This is my question: Am I being cheap if I were to ask friend to pay cost for cuts I give them.
None of these friends are hunting buddies. My hunting buddies and I share with consideration to cost.
Am I cheap and what do you guys do?
