To donate venison through Hunters Sharing the Harvest, use Minor Acres Packing Co, Red Barn Butcher Shop, Country Butcher Shop and 1 more. 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 80% of local shops in HSH, against 36% statewide. 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.
