For those that are wondering, The Buck Stops Here will be OPEN for the 2024, 2025 season. When I started this journey some time ago it was ensuring fellow hunters get the very best service (one that I would want as a hunter myself), and making sure that there was a place available for those looking to get their game processed. I am thankful to all those that have made The Buck Stops Here what it is today. Former Lead Operator Collin Mayer has recently decided to pursue a new vision and opportunity. I thank him for all that he has done for The Buck Stops Here and wish him all the best. Trent Stoddart who most may know from The Meat Room, will now be taking over and leading The Buck Stops Here operations for the 2024-2025 season. Trent has a tremendous amount of past experience, and I have full confidence that he will continue to operate and serve to highest of standards as the leader of The Buck Stops Here. If anyone has questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please stay tuned for more updates on our services, prices, and hours of operations.
Thanks, Paul Guarraci

Hello Everybody,

Just wanted to take the time to thank all our customers so far. It’s been quite a start and when you throw in early bear season, it’s been even crazier. We are working hard to get everyone’s order processed. Thank you all for your understanding and patience.

Just a reminder: Regular bow season ends tomorrow (Friday, 10/27). Permit bow season starts Saturday, October 28th. Make sure to get your new tags if you haven’t done so! The leaves are changing, and the temperature is dropping. The hunting is about to get real good! Good luck, be safe, and feel free to reach out. Thanks again!!

With summer coming to an end, that only means one thing, hunting season is right around the corner!! We want to wish everyone a successful and safe upcoming hunting season. We will be posting more this season and keeping everyone updated but for now we liked to highlight a few things to start off our 2023/2024 season.

1. First and foremost our prices will not be inflating as everything else continues to do so. We believe in the service and want to make it affordable for everyone. Most prices this year will remain the same as last year, however the ones that change are only due to direct cost increases from our suppliers which we will continue to work on so that we get our customers the best prices.

2. All cuts are boneless (unless otherwise requested), vacuum packed, labeled, and frozen. We do not bulk grind! You get your deer back!

3. We will be doing specialty items such as hot dogs, sausage, deer sticks, kielbasa, pork roll, burgers, and much more. Also, be on the lookout for new upcoming items throughout the season as well!

4. We will again have 24 hour drop off – We are committed to helping our hunters preserve their meat. Please shoot us a text or call giving us the heads up if you’re going to be late. We will work out it with you.

As always, ALL harvest must be legal and checked in prior to your drop off. NO EXCEPTIONS

Once again, we are here for all your processing needs and committed to giving the best quality and service. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us! Happy hunting, be safe, and God Bless.

Thanks,

For the past 6 years, The Buck Stop’s Here has volunteered to butcher the deer for Wounded Warrior's Three-Day-Hunt at Picatinny Arsenal. To participate and be able to give back and honor these Wounded Warriors who have served is priceless. With Veteran’s Day approaching we want to thank each veteran that has proudly served our country. Words cannot convey our appreciation for your dedication and sacrifice. You are all truly heroes! And to Collin, Justin and Co. very proud of all your efforts and commitment to give back! Great job boys!!!
