Wild Game
Wild Game Processing Information
Current Status: Due to a lack of help, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to not receive any wild game meat at this time, we have no ETA of when we will. We simply do not have enough labor, required, to properly service your wild game meat.
We are trying to actively hire more labor and get them trained, but good labor has been difficult to find. If we can find more labor and feel like we can do it, we will start to receive wild game again. Until that time, we are unable to take any right now.
We are very sorry for the huge inconvenience this causes you, our customers. We did not make this decision lightly. Hopefully we can get back into processing your wild game meat, sooner rather than later.
