Before bringing your deer in for processing -
- DO NOT allow deer to lie overnight without being field dressed.
- DO NOT pile hot deer on top of each other. They will not cool properly and will spoil.
- Deer needs to have (2) proper tags attached. (The Harvest Report Tag and the Transportation Tag).
- We prefer hides and heads on when brought in whole during late and early archery and muzzle seasons.
- Wash the carcass out and remove all hair and blood when possible. This will also help cool the meat.
- Place a bag of ice in chest cavity and on hind legs (deer on its back with legs open) to cool carcass when weather is warm.
- If fresh, bring it in as soon as possible.
- Prop deer legs and cavity open to cool (if below 40 degrees) or ice down. If this is not done, the meat
may spoil.
- DO NOT skin your deer. The hide helps to protect the meat from contamination while in transit and
keeps it from drying out. It takes longer and wastes meat if we have to trim a layer from carcass or
remove contamination.
- DO NOT split the brisket or rib cage. This will reduce excess hair in the cavity.
- DO NOT cut the tendons on the back legs. We need them to hang the deer.
When deboning your own meat -
- DO NOT allow deer to hang for more than one day without hide on before deboning. Carcass may dry excessively and require reskinning.
- After skinning, use a butane torch to singe off hair that remains on carcass.
- Hose inside cavity of carcass down when possible or wash with clean water and rag.
- Use your nose. If it doesn't smell like good fresh meat, trim it off and dispose of it.
- DO NOT put hot deer in sealed bags or containers. Meat needs to be cooled properly.
- Remove all fat, hair and contamination from trim.
- DO NOT soak deer meat in water. Meat should be bright red.
- DO NOT grind the trim.
- NO garbage bags. Use food grade bags only.
- Place deer trim in clear plastic bags and remove air. Freeze the meat while fresh in manageable size portions or bring in to us within a couple of days.
- If you want dried venison or jerky made, remove leg at ball joint. If you wish to remove the bone yourself, open leg at seam, cut down to bone, and remove bone carefully. Leave whole muscles in tact.
All meat that we debone or trim brought in is commingled, unless you have enough meat to make a 100# batch of one product.
Steaks and roasts will be from your own deer. All trim brought in is thoroughly inspected.
An extra fee will apply if we remove bone, hair or excess fat.
Meat will be refused if it is not properly cared for.
