You have ever had to wait to get your deer meat order back? Sunday will be 6 weeks for me. By far the longest I've ever had to wait for my meat to be ready.

The LAST time I used S&D, it was 6 months. I was skeptical on eating it then. Depending on how much you bring in and what you get done, I would say no longer than 2 weeks on one deer, three on 2 deer.

2 weeks at the most.

Over 2 weeks after season is closed? I wouldn't eat it.

After 10 working days he could keep it . This is why I do my own .

about two weeks on a new processor here ,wont use him anymore

So far it's been 7 weeks and counting.

It's been 9 weeks and counting. By the way, this is Sportsman's Deer Processing in Canton.

11 weeks and counting.

Actually, I got someone to answer the phone today and they said it was ready. I went straight from work to pick it up. When I got home I decided to cook some sausage for dinner. Well I cooked it up and it tasted very funny to say the least. I couldn't even finish it and I'll eat anything. My wife had some and agreed that it had a funny taste. I"m not sure if all of it will taste this way but needless to say they have lost my business. It's a shame because I had heard some good things about this place. This was my first and last time to use them.

I didn't have a good experience with Sportsmans either. 9 weeks to get my meat back, bad sausage that they admitted to, and would not refund money, wanted to do credit or exchange for meat they had in the back. I will not ever step foot in the place again and plan on letting everyone I can know how they treat customers, the manager was very helpful but the owner was not, said it was policy for no refunds but no where in the store is that mentioned. So proceed with caution if you use them.

I finally got them on the phone Saturday. I told him my meat was bad and he told me that they had a batch of tainted pork trimmings come through. He said I could take a credit or come swap it out but no refund. Well I didn't want to take a credit because I don't plan on every going back there. I took the sausage straight up there and he apologized and swapped it out. I tried some of the "new" stuff yesterday and it is still bad. The spoiled taste is not as strong but you can still taste it. I haven't even tried my burger yet but I'm guessing it is probably bad too. It's very frustrating when you wait 11 weeks to get your meat back and then it tastes spoiled. I guess I will call them back to see if I can swap again but it looks like I may just have to take a loss on this batch.

Had bad experiences with having my deer processed, and have for some years now processing my own. It's time consuming, and especially when you want to make sausage or such, but you know what the meat has in it, that you get your own deer back, and exactly how its been handled. No one in my family seems to ahve any trouble with deer i have processed myself. Besides, knowing i have all that work ahead of me when i kill a deer helps me to be more selective about my killing deer as well.
