Deer Processing Information
Please do not skin your deer. We have a skinning system that keeps contaminants off of the carcass. We do not accept pre-skinned deer.
You must properly field dress your deer. Field dressing should be done immediately. A properly dressed deer will have a clean chest cavity, no bladder, rectum or udder.
When you drop your deer off you must provide us with your confirmation number if checked in using the Missouri Department of Conservation Telecheck system.
Due to the limited freezer space we ask that all orders be picked up within 7 days after you receive notification that your deer is ready. If you have not picked up your deer by then you will be charged a $15 storage fee per day.
We accept only cash or credit cards (no checks). Full payment or a 80% deposit is required at time of drop off. NO EXCEPTIONS. You must pick up deer within 7 days of being notified or deer may be donated to Share the Harvest program. No refunds on deposit.
Please review our store hours for drop off and pick up order times or you may call us at 636-285-9090 to make special arrangements if needed.
Approximate wait times for picking up your deer
The following are approximate wait times for pickup after dropping off your deer for processing
Deer #1 – #150 | 2 to 4 weeks wait time |

When picking up your deer, we will need either the deer number given to you or the tag name (name on the hunting tag you provided to us) or both to receive your deer. Jerky is done last and separately. You will pick up your deer before jerky is done, depending on your deer number.
We will call you when your deer is ready. If you change your phone number in the meantime, please let us know so we can reach you when the time comes.
Our staff will do their best to get you your deer and order ready as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation, patience, and understanding.

Beef can also be made into our fantastic summer sausage using our old world techniques.
