FAQ
We will meet you at our shop or arrange for a no-contact drop off. We will collect basic
information (name, phone, cut order, special instructions), and we will schedule a tentative
pick-up date based on our workload. We will require the deposit of the cost of processing at time
of drop-off. Any further charges incurred will be collected upon pick-up.
Please inform us right away at time of drop off or first contact and write your request on the
carcass tag that will accompany your deer through the entire process! We offer drop-off services
to your preferred taxidermist at an additional fee.
Your cuts will be freezer wrapped and clearly labeled. Your grind will be in tubes and marked
“Wild Game”. If requested, we can box your meat for your convenience–otherwise, please bring
coolers or boxes to transport. We freeze upon completion unless requested otherwise.If there
were additional fees associated with your order, we will collect the balance at that point and you
will receive a receipt for services rendered.
Currently, we accept cash and checks. A fee will be applied to any check that is returned due to
insufficient funds. We hope to offer card services soon!
We have an open door policy. Don’t just trust our word–stay for the entire process!
If you have not picked up within three days of us contacting you to let you know your game is
ready, we will start assessing our storage fee. Should the storage fee equal the total cost of
processing, Township Meats will assume ownership of the product.
Our cleaning fee will be applied only if there is excessive dirt, leaves, other foreign objects, or
gut material throughout the deer. We have the right to refuse whole deer, trim, or quarters if we
deem by visual inspection that the product is not safe to consume.
We do not test for CWD, but we are hosting a self-service CWD testing kiosk right between the processing shed and walk in cooler for your convenience. There are instructions for use and supplies located in the kiosk.
If you wish for us to cape the deer or return the skull for a Euro mount, please follow normal drop-off protocol and additionally write "CWD TEST" on your tag, and we will contact you for the information needed. We can also set up a time to meet you at the shop to get your CWD information filled out right away.
For more information about using the kiosk, please call or text Laura Owens at 608-931-7252. The kiosk will be checked once a week.
We will not hold deer awaiting test results.
No CWD positive deer once processed will be refunded the processing charge, as the work will have already been completed.
