Best Deer Processors in Smithfield, PA
The 8 best-rated deer processors in and around Smithfield, Fayette County: 1 in Smithfield 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 Haines Farming & Meat Processing, LLC, Hungarian Smokehouse DP and Chef B's 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. 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.
Specialty work advertised by shops on this list: snack sticks, bologna, jerky and fresh sausage. Bear and elk aren't mentioned in these listings; call ahead to confirm a shop will take one. Pekar's Smokehouse publishes a base processing price of $160; the rest quote by phone.

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.
