Deer processing in Cumberland County
Cumberland County has 7 deer processors in this directory, spread across 5 towns: Carlisle, Enola, New Kingstown, Newville and Shippensburg. Shops with Google reviews here average 4.6 stars, in line with the statewide 4.6. country boy butchering leads the ranking with a 5.0 average from 44 Google reviews.

To donate venison through Hunters Sharing the Harvest, use Wenger Meats & Ice Co. and Blue Mountain Deer Processing. None of these shops is on the PGC cooperating processor list. Under the 2026-27 CWD rules you don't need one, since any shop can take your deer as long as high-risk parts go out with the trash. That's 29% of local shops in HSH, against 36% statewide. For late drags out of the woods, Blue Mountain Deer Processing and Rocky Hill Meats offer after-hours or 24/7 drop-off.
Specialty work advertised by shops on this list: vacuum sealing (3 shops), bologna (2 shops), fresh sausage (2 shops) and boneless cuts (2 shops). None of these listings mention bear or elk, so call first if you have one. Wenger Meats & Ice Co. publishes a base processing price of $100.00; the rest quote by phone.
Cumberland County is in the PGC's Southcentral Region. Region at a glance: Ridge-and-valley country from Harrisburg out to Bedford and Fulton, plus Michaux and Tuscarora forest land. If every cooler here is full, neighboring Perry, Juniata, Adams and Dauphin counties have 18 listed processors between them. If you want your deer tested for CWD, ask the shop to save the head, or drop it at a free PGC head bin.

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.
