@GreginPA:
Update from today:
Just a reminder: We are open the month of September, Early Deer Season. However, the office is only open on Saturdays this month from 9:00 to 5:00. The rest of the week you must call first and let us know when you plan to bring in your deer so someone can meet you at the office.
Be sure to register your deer with the state of VA and get a confirmation number. We need that number to process your deer.
This is done online or on your phone. We do not register deer with physical tags anymore.
Be sure to put ice in the cavity and between the back legs if it's a hot day. This goes for all season long as it protects the meat from spoiling.
Completely field dress your deer in the woods before you bring it to us. That includes the heart and lungs. We will NOT except deer if
it is not field dressed.
We will take your deer whole with the hide on. We actually prefer it that way. Due to the volume of deer that we take in, we prefer that you don't bring us deer that is quartered until mid-December.
We take deer from all counties. Because CWD is so prevalent, we can take them and the wildlife biologist come to us once a week to collect samples. It is completely OPTIONAL if you want the deer tested for CWD.
We do except deer for donation to Hunters for the Hungry. Be sure to fill out the information on the clip board and tag your deer with a Hunters for the Hungry tag. There is no charge for this service.
Starting on October 7th, (the first day of Bow Season), we will have After Hour Check available to you. Follow the directions to tag your deer found in the room that juts off the main building. Leave your deer in front of the big roll up door on the concrete pad. Don't forget to put ice in the cavity. We will call you the next day to go over your order with you. Be sure and take a brochure with you to look over what you want to order.
Hopefully this will answer most questions. If you need to reach us with any other questions I didn't answer, please contact us by Facebook, message or phone.
Our hours in October are 9:00-6:00 Monday through Saturday and 9:00-12:00 on Sunday. If you leave your deer after those hours, please follow the above rules.
Generally, your order will take up to a week to 10 days to get back. We age your deer as long as possible before we cut it. If you order specialty items, your order may take a bit longer. November it will be longer because of the volume of deer that we receive.
