Best Deer Processors in Hughesville, PA
The 7 best-rated deer processors in and around Hughesville, Lycoming County: 2 in Hughesville 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 Gibson's Custom Butchering, Bare Bones BBQ & Deer Processing and Veterans Deer Processing. PGC CWD cooperating processors here: Gibson's Custom Butchering, Hollenbach's Custom Butchering and Frank And April. No shop here advertises after-hours drop-off, so plan to arrive during business hours or keep the deer cold overnight.
None of these shops publish a full service list online, so ask about snack sticks, bologna and vacuum sealing when you call. None of these listings mention bear or elk, so call first if you have one. No shop here publishes a base price online, so ask for the standard deer rate and any add-ons when you call.
Hughesville is in Lycoming County, in the PGC 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 Lycoming County towns with listed processors: Allenwood, Cogan Station and Jersey Shore. 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.
