Best Deer Processors in Port Matilda, PA
The 7 best-rated deer processors in and around Port Matilda, Centre County: 1 in Port Matilda 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

To donate venison through Hunters Sharing the Harvest, use The Buck Stop Deer Processing and Cold Springs Processing. The Buck Stop Deer Processing is on the Game Commission's CWD cooperating processor list, approved for proper disposal of high-risk parts. None of these processors list a 24/7 drop-off. If you hunt until dark, call ahead about late intake or keep the deer iced.
The services listed most often here are snack sticks (2 shops), bologna (2 shops), boneless cuts (2 shops) and fresh sausage. Beyond deer, you can bring bear (Peachey Foods & Locker LLC). Pricing isn't posted for these shops. Ask for the base rate, then skinning, caping and specialty product charges.
Port Matilda sits in Centre County, part of the PGC's Northcentral Region. Region at a glance: The Pennsylvania Wilds: big woods, State Game Lands and the elk range around Elk, Cameron and Clearfield counties. Other Centre County towns with listed processors: Bellefonte, Howard, Spring Mills and Warriors Mark. Rifle season fills coolers fast on opening weekend, so call before you head out.
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.
