Wild Game Processing

How Wild Game Processing Works

Drop-Off Checklist

• At our Retail Store, receive a tag number for your whole or quartered, field-dressed deer and weigh any trimmings.
• You must leave your cutting instructions and notify us if you would like the antlers and/or hide.
• Remove antlers at the base immediately if you are keeping them.
• If you would like your hide back, there is an extra charge.
• Pay your deposit.
• Bring your tag and field-dressed wild game to our Processing Facility (270 4th Avenue) – use the alley entrance.

Pick-Up Checklist

• We will call when your order is ready. Orders MUST be picked up within 2 weeks or there will be a weekly storage fee.
  • After-hours pick-up is available by appointment only (24-hour notice required)
  • Check-in by phone to pay any balances due and to receive a passcode to our self-serve, after-hours freezer at our Retail Store. The code expires after 12 hours.
• Check-in at our Retail Store to pay any balance due and to receive your receipt. You need your receipt to collect your order.
• Bring your receipt to our Processing Facility (270 4th Avenue) and our team will load your order for you.

Important Things To Know

• Orders are processed on a first-in, first-out basis. We will call you when your order is ready, approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
• We do our best to accommodate order changes but can’t always guarantee changes to initial orders.
• All wild game must be tagged and registered. Trimmings must be clean and have tag numbers.
• Please follow safe food handling practices. Do not use garbage bags. We won’t accept any wild game that appears to be mishandled or unsanitary. We reserve the right to dispose of the spoiled game; owners will be notified.
• Prices are based on the combined weight of wild game and pork before smoking (not finished weight) yields are approximate.
• All of your chops, steaks, and roasts are cut boneless. All cuts are wrapped in paper.
• All sausages are made with 1/2 wild game and 1/2 lean pork. Sticks, summer, and bulk fresh sausage are 2/3 wild game and 1/3 lean pork. Prices include pork added. If you would like beef added instead, the price increases.
• Boneless trimmings brought in for further processing will be charged a wrapping charge per pound on the processed weight.
• We welcome special orders (minimum 25 pounds) after mid-January.
