I've got a farm in cottle county just east of childress texas and im thinking of making a trip to hunt hogs with my crossbow and I cant make the 3 hour trip back down to dfw with one or possibly more hogs to process and hope the meat is still good, so im looking for a reliable processor around childress texas doesn't matter if theyre a town or two over just as long as they do good work

If it was me I'd just throw a bag of ice or two in the chest cavity and drive to DFW. Done it before without an issue. But if your looking for a good place that's on the drive home I'd suggest Old Margaret in Crowell. Head south on Hwy 6 out of Quanah. Will add about 45 mins to your drive home.


Old Margaret Wild Game Processing
394 County Road 411
Crowell, TX 79227

(940) 655-8192

my issue with that is I have a jeep and im not going to have a dead hog in the cargo bin with blood still in it and a bag or two of ice inside of it and drive three hours to dfw smelling its blood or having to bleach the back of my jeep to clean it

You don't own an ice chest?

I guide up there and the ONLY processor I know of in the area (and I've looked around) is up in Wellington. A&K processing. I've taken a few up there and they do a very good job. They process beef as well so they are open year round.

Might think about investing in a receiver hitch rack. You can get one big enough to handle a hog or deer. Just wrap it in a tarp, bungie it down tight.. and head on home.

well i'd love to know who it is that keeps breaking my deer feeder if I don't hide it, someones likely to get their rear hit with an arrow if I find out who it is.

Uh oh.

average hog we shoot is 375 gutted, no cooler is big enough to fit one inside it, when we go on a big hunt and we shoot several we typically have a 5X10 trailer filled with em of all sizes, we have several we can hit three times with a 30.6 slug and they don't seem phased, but those are the ones that we have to call our farmer out with his tractor to pull out
