Deer and elk meat-cuts' prices

Ok, this is pretty much just a rider to my preceding "Eat MEAT!" entry of the other day.
     When I wrote that, I was just trying to share some somewhat-specific general information.  Now I'm thinking that even though it's been a year or two since I first researched them, hence any given meat cut's price might well have gone up (which I figured would make the information sufficiently obsolete as to be nearly useless), nevertheless, the overall price differences between one supplier and another might well still be at approximately the same ratios.
     Keep in mind:  it seems as if most of the places I'd looked at suggest shipping at least 10 pounds of meat;  less than that seems to make them a bit skittish, presumably due to potential spoilage (I'm guessing that this would be due to potential food poisoning and subsequent law suits).

Anyway, the prices have probably changed on most of them (if not all of them), and certainly there's at least one major addition since having compiled the below lists (in the form of ElkUSA's red deer, when they had had only whitetail and fallow at the time), but at the least, it should give you a ball-park minimum to expect for any given item--and hey, it should give you a rough comparison-contrasting listing for what might typically cost more or less than whatever else.
     I never got to starting to run similar listings for the other meats ('gator, quail, ostrich, etc.), so I have no real idea about their weighted costs--sorry about that.

Oh! I'll tell dad about Elk's meat pricing. Maybe he wants to buy Elk's meat. Last night, he told me that he and his friend are planning to go to Colorado for deer hunting. Like any other men, dad loves adventure.
