Best Deer Processors in Rome, PA
The 8 best-rated deer processors in and around Rome, Bradford County: 2 in Rome itself and the rest within about 20 miles. Shops in town come first, then each group is ranked by Google rating weighted by review count, state program participation and distance.
How we rank: a Google rating with fewer reviews counts for less than one with many; shops on the 2026 state program lists, HSH partners and CWD cooperators get a small boost; farther shops get a small penalty per mile. Shops in town are listed ahead of nearby ones. Nobody pays for placement. Details

Drop-off checklist
- Tag it right away. Tag the deer immediately after harvest and before you move it. The tag goes on the ear and stays there until the deer is processed.
- Field dress and cool fast. Remove entrails, drain the cavity and get the deer cold. In warm weather, pack the cavity with bagged ice.
- High-risk parts go in the trash. New for 2026-27: you can move a deer anywhere, but once it leaves the kill site the head, backbone and spleen must go out with commercial trash. A processor handles that for you.
- Report within 10 days. Online, by phone at 1-800-838-4431, or with the digest report card.
