Deer Processing

We accept field-dressed whole carcass (skin on) or boned-out deer with a $100 deposit at drop off.

Deer with cut tendons will automatically be charged a $100 fee. We DO NOT accept skinned deer!

Fine Print to read before bringing your deer in. . .

• You do not need to call ahead if you are bringing your deer in during normal business hours.

• All processed deer (excludes fresh cuts) used in ground products are batched together to meet minimum 25 lb batch size. If you want your own deer back for ground products there is a 25 pound minimum for one flavor and an extra $50 fee.

• 10# minimum order per ground selection.

• We do not accept deer for the HUSH program but we will take donated deer.

WHOLE DEER

• Must be field-dressed with skin on (we DO NOT accept skinless deer).

• Do NOT cut hindquarter leg tendons (how we hang the deer). $100 fee if tendons are cut.

• If you want the head, skull cap (antlers), or a cape - attach note to the antlers.

BONELESS DEER

• Please bring your current season's DNR tag/s for the boneless meat because we will check it! We cannot accept any meat from last season. According to Iowa DNR statute 481A.57 regarding possession and storage, it is only lawful to possess meat until September 1 of the following season. Please ensure you bring your current season’s DNR tag to verify the meat.

• Make sure your meat is clean and well packaged to avoid up charge at our discretion.• All items must be brought in a clear, food-grade bag (such as a ziplock) or food-grade container. Garbage bags are not allowed. Food-grade bags are available for purchase $5 each in our retail area. Pre-ground deer is not accepted

When your order is complete we will notify you by email and text. All orders must be picked up and paid for within ten days after you are notified. A fee of $1/day after 10 days may be accessed, unless arrangements are made. Abandoned product left unclaimed for more than 60 days will be deemed abandoned and will become the property of Nimrod Meats.
