Georgia Deer Processors - Can we get a sticky?

Apple Valley is the best
McClure's in Blairsville is great, but often full (as now) this time of year. I would like to find a North GA processor I can go to as a backup or instead of them, may try the Cooler. I am in a small place in Fannin, can't butcher here, the HOA would get it's panties in a bunch. Thank you.
All the good ones are going to be packed. I got a buddy that works at Kroger as a butcher and he takes that vacation and processes deer the whole season. They're packed from the first day until the last. Last year I heard they had processed 900 deer before the season was even over.
Depends if you want ground, sausage, jerky, etc. Also, extra charge if they have to skin it. As far as mounts, I have a couple friends with 30+ shoulder mounts and on average recently has been $500ish. Not worth it to me unless you kill a hoss, I just opted for the euro mount on a buck myself ran me $75 or just take a pot and boil it yourself, probably what I’ll do next time.
I spoke to Andrew Diaz yesterday. He is opening up a new deer processing facility in Morganton, Fannin County, in a couple weeks, more or less. The Facebook page is under Southern Pride Processing
When I called Souther's a few weeks ago they quoted $120 for their standard cut. They do excellent work and vacuum seal.
Custom Processing in Winder is $80 for their standard cut. Styrofoam trays and wrap. Again they do good work.
Like most they both charge to gut your deer.
I've used both and been pleased.

I set aside a bunch of elk that I want ground into various items - burger, couple of different kinds of snack sticks, brats, summer sausage, etc. I would like a lot of diversity in the menu so that I can mix it up. I'm looking for a really good processor with a pretty extensive menu of different options and flavors. Someone who sort of specializes in various kinds of sausages and is located within 1.5 hours of ATL. Wilkes is a possibility, but I don't know what their list of offerings looks like. Any other suggestions?
I shot a doe last Saturday in Meriwhether and gutted, skinned and quartered her. I only took the hams, shoulders, straps and loins off and packed her in the cooler on ice. Dropped her off at a processor Sunday morning close to my house up here in north Ga and they informed me Monday it was ready for pick up already. I thought it was oddly a quick turn around and the total was over $200 for 27pounds of meat turned into sausage. They charge $120 per deer (even a quartered up deer) for basic cut plus the cost of extras... sausage per pound, fat, jerky etc...
Am I crazy for thinking that is absurd?
Thoughts?

Yes that’s crazy high. I have a place over in Hickory flat that I have gone to and their prices are much better. I’ll PM you the info
