Virginia Deer Processors?
 

Are there any Deer Processors in Va? I see advertisements all the time on the web for ther states, but not in Va. Is there some kind of health regulation against commercial processing of wild game?

There's one in Amelia somewhere. Don't know names or addresses, but my buddy and his father take about 1 or 2 deer there a year. If you cut out the anal canal and gut them it's a lot cheaper. They'll make it in sausage, hamburger, and give you the tenderloin whole. No wasted meat they get everything and grind it up into all kinds of things and season it. It's really good.

Check your yellow pages...there are about 6 within 30 miles of me. Also look at the VA Hunters for the Hungry website. They listprocessors by the county who participate in the program. All of the ones on their list I'm familiar with also process deer for individuals.

Bull, i live in chesterfield and hunt powhatan, cfield, amelia, and cumberland. we take our deer to Mass Meats in Amelia if we dont do them ourselves. I think its around 60-65 if you get hamburger meat and sausage and tenderloin stakes.

In Northern VA we have Gadells (family friends) in Catlett that do an excellent job and Linthicum just north of Manassas that do a good job also.

Mast Meats is off of Rt 13, here is a google map to their location starting from 60 + 522 and their phone number is 804-561-5235. I would suggest programming it in your cell phone as sometimes they get so full they are not taking anymore deer, happened to me last year. They also will not under any circumstances take a deer in on Sunday so if you shoot one on a Saturday and dont recover it until Sunday you are on your own. They really do a wonderful job with the meat and you have to try their bologna with cheese and jalapeno!
