Where to take a bear to be processed in Eastern MN

[fetzeriiif]

I am going to be bear hunting in area 51 this fall with my dad and another friend. Last time we did this we took one of our bears an hour and a half away to get processed and the other I drove 2 1/2 hours home to cut up myself. This is quite a hassel, because not everyone gets a bear on the same night. We would preffer if there was somewhere in Pine County, Carlton County, or Duluth to take our bear to. We will be up over Labor day weekend hunting, so it would have to be a place that will be open over the holiday weekend. It would even be ok if I had to go up to pick up the hide and the meat the next week.

I would love to hear any suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks Jay,

I live in Menomonie, WI. So Mille Lacs is in the opposite direction and would be about a 3 hour drive to go and get the meat when it is done. I would prefer something in Carlton County, Pine County, or around Duluth/Superior. I would also be very interested in a place in Polk or Douglas County Wisconsin.
