ATTENTION DEER HUNTERS!!!!
There is a lot of info so please be patient and read the whole post. If you have any questions, contact Clay Kuegel at 270-929-8787
The deer season is already upon us and I have been holding off on posting anything because I have been waiting for official confirmation. We have some great news! We will now be able to receive whole deer from within the CWD Surveillance zone. This includes Webster county, Henderson county, and Union county. Last deer season it had to be deboned before crossing the river to get to my facility. I now have a waiver that will allow me to accept deer as whole or quartered. We do prefer whole and field dressed if possible.
Starting Friday (9/25) and going until Monday (9/28) there will be an antlerless hunting season within the CWD ZONE ONLY. You will be allowed to use modern guns, crossbow, and bow. Everyone else hunting outside the CWD zone will still be using bows and cross bows per fish and wildlife regulations and you will be allowed to bag bucks as long as you are outside the zone for this antlerless season.
For Friday and Monday, we will be at our facility from 8 AM until 5 pm. If after 5 pm, please call us if you get a deer down and would like to bring it to us so we know roughly when to expect you. For Saturday and Sunday, we will be receiving deer from 8:30 to 1 pm and then from 4pm to 7 pm.
We would love for you to trust us with processing your deer but there are a few things that I need to point out before you commit to bringing your deer to us.
We currently DO NOT have smokers so we cannot do jerky, snack sticks, or summer sausage. We are looking at possibly getting smokers for next season.
You will be getting YOUR deer meat back. Every deer will be assigned a unique lot number that will be attached to that specific hunter. This is how we track the deer and make sure you are getting your own deer meat back.
You DO NOT have to debone or quarter your deer meat. We prefer to receive whole deer only field dressed. This makes it easier for us to track the deer through the whole process and it is also cleaner for the meat. It also allows us to get you the maximum amount of meat back from that deer carcass.
We are excited to serve you as we move forward into the deer season. For September and October, we will still be processing beef and pork so we will have to find a balance. However, for r***e season in November, we will be focusing entirely on deer. This is why we recommend that you call before you bring the deer during September and October. Just to be sure we can receive your deer and that we are not over loaded.
Thank you everyone for making it to the bottom of this post. Once again if you have questions, reach out to Clay Kuegel at 270-929-8787. Have a happy hunting season and please be safe.
