Game processing is a skilled trade that turns a successful hunt into a freezer full of quality venison, elk, bear, or wild boar. A good processor can make the difference between excellent table fare and gamey, poorly-handled meat.
Ohio has a diverse agricultural economy and a strong tradition of small family farms. The state's Amish communities in particular are known for raising high-quality, pasture-raised beef and pork with traditional methods.
A typical whitetail deer yields 40-60 pounds of boneless venison. Most of this is ground venison, with quality cuts for roasts, steaks, and chops. Many processors also offer specialty items like breakfast sausage, Italian sausage blends, and smoked summer sausage.
Deer season timing varies by state but most whitetail processors are busiest from October through January. Book your spot early - the best processors fill up fast. Many processors offer early-season discounts for customers who book before the season opens.
