Area meat processing opinions wanted.

[HOGEYE 0]

I have some venison trim left over after making sausage this year and was wonder everyone's opinion on best tasting weiners and deer sticks in the area? I have had tried Rods sticks and thought the were decent. I have also tried the Locker. Can't decide between Stittworths, Downtown or Rods (again).

Any recommendations would be great!

NK,

Just got back a huge batch of sticks from Rod's. Been getting them done there for 2 years now, after the locker the prior 2 years. If you want to try some of this years batch stop on over!

Side note, the best sticks I've ever tasted were done by a guy up near Clearbrook. Can't remember the name of the place, but we always had our deer and bear done there until the last 4 years.

You may be thinking of Nelson's Meats in Clearbrook, he does make good beer sticks but dang...that place is . The best by far IMO has been Neil's Meats over in McIntosh. It's worth the drive.

I'd say Stittsworth's is the best.

There's a really good shop in Remer if you don't mind a little drive. They make a ton of different very good Sticks!

Neils Meats in McIntosh is great. Good results...good pricing...quick turn around...IMO Bemidji does not have a real great plant. They all have certain things that are OK...ie...Stitsworths Brats...Downtowns Burger...Locker Plants Jerky is very unique...Rods Beer sticks are ok,,,but he has very good seasoning for polish....it is all personal prefrence.
