I was wrong on her rates. It's $75 for a 3 hour class. Not quite so bad.

That’s actually pretty reasonable for super expensive land!!!

Yep, been there, done that including beef too.

We did beef once but I wasn't around lol I want duck, but unless I butcher one of mine I can't have it.

I need to buy a duck specifically for butchering

Go duck hunting. A corn fed mallard is delicious.

We can buy spirits at a gas station or drug store, grocery store. Hell we have drive-thru daiquiri shops. What's the big deal with the ABC stores ?

So does my family in IL. I was shocked to go to Walmart and find whiskey. Even more shocked to see the drive-thru wine and daiquiri shops. We are a CoMmOnWeAlTH here though. You can only buy spirits from the distillery or the ABC store.

Unless you make your own. Which is also illegal so.....

I keep hoping that’s true but we’ve never had much luck on overcast dreary days (one exception was when I threw a fit to hunt rifle season in hurricane force winds and mr muddy got a small doe as we were walking out)

I have never had deer move here when it's raining either. They hunker down.

If I had charged, it would have been something like $20, not $75. I looked at it as helping a neighbour. (Even though she wasn't exactly a neighbour. Next town over)

A three-hour class is worth $75 even here in SD. It takes a lot of work to prepare to teach a class. I used to teach art classes in Rapid City for Michaels for $10/hour plus a few dollars per student. By the time I developed a lesson, drove an hour both ways and ended up with a no-show maybe a quarter of the time it absolutely wasn't worth it. I was only doing it for the pleasure of helping people. By and large, people do not really value that.

If someone I knew wanted to come out and help me butcher for the opportunity to learn, I wouldn't charge; I'd send them home with a couple of chickens if they were good help or at least tried to be. If it was a matter of teaching a class to strangers then yeah, I would charge for that. People sell their expertise all the time. Teaching is enjoyable work, assuming you have willing students, but it's still work and people need to make a living.

Teaching can be a complete total PITA.
