Well… nothing like waiting until the absolute last minute to get ready for deer season! 😂🦌

My other job has been keeping me busy, so apparently tonight was the night I decided, “Yep, probably should get the deer shop ready.” 😂

But we got it done! The shop is cleaned up, organized, and ready to go — just in time for the Weirton City Limits deer season starting TOMORROW!

Good luck to everybody heading out for the Weirton City Limits hunt! 🦌🎯 Be safe, shoot straight, and hopefully we’ll be seeing a bunch of you at J&R Deer Shop with some deer!

Good luck, happy hunting, and remember… procrastination builds character! 😂🦌

Just a friendly reminder as pumpkin season gets a little closer! 🎃

The kids have planted a lot of pumpkins this year, and they’ll be working hard to grow and sell every one of them. If you’re looking for pumpkins this fall, we’d really appreciate you keeping them in mind and supporting these young entrepreneurs.

Every pumpkin they sell helps teach them the value of hard work, responsibility, and earning their own money. The money they make goes toward their college funds and helping support the hobbies they love.

Jax is excited to start racing his new dirt bike next summer, and Rhett has become quite the little golfer! ⛳🏍️ Every pumpkin you buy helps them chase those dreams while also putting a few dollars away for their futures.

Thank you to everyone who has supported them over the years. It truly means a lot to our family, and we can’t wait to see you this fall! 🎃❤️

At J&R Deer Shop, we’ve always appreciated the generosity of our hunters who choose to donate their deer to be processed and given to our local Bread Basket. Those donations go a long way in helping families in our community, and we’re proud to be a small part of that process.

This year, we wanted to take it one step further. We took two of the smaller donated deer and turned them into ready-to-use meals, then personally hand-delivered them to help make sure they go straight to families who need them most.

It’s not just about processing deer — it’s about giving back, supporting our community, and doing what we can to help our neighbors. Thank you to everyone who donates and helps make things like this possible. 🦌❤️

🦌 Thank You, Hunters! 🦌

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of our hunters for another great 2025 season. Your continued support and trust in J&R Deer Shop truly means more to us than we can say. We appreciate every customer who chose us to handle their deer this year.

With that said, we wanted to let everyone know that we will be closing earlier than usual this season. We will not be open for the extended doe season. I will be returning to my normal full-time job and unfortunately will not have the time to properly accommodate customers during the final four days.

We also want to make everyone aware that our freezers are completely full with finished deer that still need to be picked up. We have a handful of deer left to cut for customers, but we currently have no room to store them. If your deer is finished and you have been contacted, please make arrangements to pick it up as soon as possible so we can keep moving and take care of everyone.

Thank you again for an outstanding season, your understanding, and your continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year. Good luck and stay safe in the woods!

📢 J&R Deer Shop Update for Doe Season

We wanted to let everyone know that for the upcoming doe season, we will only be accepting a very limited number of deer. We have family visiting from out of town and want to spend as much time with them as possible.

We kindly ask that any deer brought in be skinned, and we will waive the skinning fee for this period.

Please remember to contact us before picking up or dropping off. We will only be at the shop when we receive a call — otherwise, we’ll be with family.

We will reopen Monday at 5:30PM, and during muzzleloader season, we’ll be open after dark only, as we will be out hunting as well.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support!

📢 Important Update from J&R Deer Shop

We want to let everyone know that our freezers are currently full. If you have been contacted that your deer is finished, please arrange a pick-up time as soon as possible so we can free up freezer space.

We can still accept more deer — we have plenty of room in our walk-in coolers — but we cannot continue cutting until we make space in the freezers.

We truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this busy season. Thank you for your continued support!

🦌 A Friendly Reminder From J&R Deer Shop 🦌

We’ve had a few conversations recently about meat yields, so we wanted to help everyone understand a few things.

Sometimes you don’t get as much meat out of your deer as you think you should. There are many factors that affect how much usable meat comes off a deer:

🔹 Shot placement – A poorly placed shot can damage shoulders, neck, ribs, or backstrap.
🔹 Old injuries – Deer often survive past wounds from previous seasons, vehicles, or other impacts.
🔹 Current-season injuries – Deer can be carrying fresh damage that isn’t obvious until we start cutting.
🔹 Abscesses or infection – We’ve seen multiple deer with abscessed areas, and we will never process or give out meat we wouldn’t eat ourselves.

We take a lot of pride in our work.
We cut your deer the same way we cut our own.
No shortcuts. No swapping. No keeping anyone’s meat.

And just so it’s clear — we do not cut rib meat.

We are avid hunters ourselves and kill plenty of our own deer. We are not taking anything from your animal.

Thank you to all our customers for trusting us. We will always be honest, fair, and treat every deer with respect.

‼️ ATTENTION HUNTERS ‼️

we are at max capacity for accepting deer at the moment. We need a day to catch up on what we’ve got.

Feel free to call tomorrow to see if we have space, but most likely will be accepting more deer on Monday morning.

As a reminder, if we call to let you know your deer is ready, please come pick up as soon as you are able so we can continue to make space and keep the cycle moving.

An exception to this is if you are able to bring your deer already skinned and quartered, we can accept it. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience

🦌 ATTENTION HUNTERS! 🦌
Happy r***e season, WV hunters!
It’s been a busy couple days as we’ve worked nearly around the clock to keep our cycle moving so we can accept as many deer as possible. We apologize to any hunters who we have had to turn away; as mentioned in a previous post— we refuse to sacrifice quality for quantity, and we would be devastated if any deer were wasted because we could not store them properly. Unfortunately, the current/recent temperatures have limited us to only our walk-in cooler for storage.
The good news is that the current forecast shows that temperatures are predicted to drop in the next few days which will allow us to use our outside cooler/storage and will increase the volume of deer we can accept.
That being said, we would like everyone to be aware that we will be completely closed on Thanksgiving Day— Thursday, 11/27. After a few years of choosing deer over dinner, we’ve realized our families only have so many get-togethers left—and if we keep skipping them, we might lose our spot at the table. So this year, we’re showing up!

Adjusted Hours:
• Wednesday 11/26: Open 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
• Thursday 11/27: Closed for Thanksgiving
• Friday 11/28: Reopen at 10:00 AM

Before you head our way, please call 304-914-2281 to make sure we have space available and that someone is on-site.

Thank you all for your business, support, and patience. Good luck out there—may your shots be steady, your coolers be cold, and may the antlers on your harvest be as plentiful as the blessings you’re giving thanks for this year! 🦌🍂🙌
