That's 25% of local shops in HSH, against 36% statewide. 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.

If you want more than steaks and burger, the shops here list jerky (3 shops), fresh sausage (3 shops), smoked products (2 shops) and vacuum sealing (2 shops). Beyond deer, you can bring bear (Paul Pollick's Whitetail Deer Lures and Billy's Country Smokehouse) and elk (Paul Pollick's Whitetail Deer Lures and Billy's Country Smokehouse). None of these processors list prices online; most quote a flat base rate plus extras for sausage, sticks and caping.

Westmoreland County is in the PGC's Southwest Region. Region at a glance: Laurel Highlands farm and ridge country surrounding Pittsburgh, west to the Ohio and West Virginia lines. If every cooler here is full, neighboring Allegheny, Washington, Fayette and Somerset counties have 22 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.
