Deer (and other) Processor Reviews?

[Bowstrider13]

Hoods in hunt county does processing and taxidermy. They suck at both.

Naturally Fresh in Midland is who we use. They have done a good job for us the past 3 years and they cut the head off on the spot so no losing it.

Do not use Clarks and Winfords in Midland. We personally had 3 bucks stolen from us from by the jackholes. One nice 13 pt mulie I shot biggest deer of my life. Nice heavy and wide 8 point muley my dad shot, and a 6 pt. whitetail that had one main beam broke off(thought it grew that way other wise would have let him grow it back to the next year) Went to pick them up and they didn't give us any of the heads just the one of the 3 muley bucks that was taken to them. All three of the deer stolen were studs. Confronted them and they just took us back to the freezer to "look" for our deer. We could have stolen somebody elses deer and they wouldn't have known any different. Which is what I think happened I think somebody upgraded there smaller deer for our studs which dwarfed every other rack in the freezer. Also when we got back they had given us somebody elses antlers inside one of the boxes. And then on top of all that we had nothing but burger when we paid and asked for steaks to be cut out of the deer. Needless to say we tell everyone we meet that hunts in the area to not go to those jackwagons.

I have these horror story's before. The way to solve that problem is cape out the buck your self. I would never leave a wall hanger type buck left up to the processor

Jackson's in Crosby (Houston Area) does an AAA+++ job!

Rust Game Place on Hwy 46 between Seguin and New Braunsfels. We use them all the time for our clients. They have shipped meat for our clients out of state, delivered a quick turn around, and there place is always clean when I go inside to the meat market counter. I'm very pleased with their service over the last 5 years that I have used them.

I used rust last year for the first time. Very nice people. What do you recommend to get done there for your deer as far as jerky, sticks, sausage etc?

Anyone used hunters creek processing on 183 north of Seward junction?

[Kbeaz]

I like Granzins in new braunfels, the dried sausage is killer!

Looks like one good review and one bad. I may try them this year.

Ainsworth in Magnolia.

Bay area deer

Tom Jr's in Kirbyville for hogs (been a few years but I would make the trip if they are still open)

Cherry Springs Smokehouse is great but just a far drive from town but I love his poor man steaks

Hartcrafts sold out so not sure yet with new owners

Vogels Smokehouse in Stonewall is great and has really good sausage and snack sticks

K&B in Bronte. Never been dissappionted.

X2 their roast are top notch.

[MA ELite]

Syracuse and llano smoke house is the two that I used when I lived in Texas. If your ever in SW Oklahoma I recommend Newt's.

Any processors near Rockwall worth trying?

[CaptainDave]

I've used Greaks at Froberg's Farm in the past. It's located between Alvin and Manvel, south of Houston.

Not the cheapest. However, He will make just about any kind of sausage that you want. Turnaround is very fast. Last year, I had my stuff within a week. Very personable and you will get your own meat back. This is not your standard processor where you would find dozens upon dozens of ice chest stacked. Sausage is top notch to boot.

Been useing Terry for a long long time. Everyone that eats his Jalapino and Cheese smoked links go crazy. Best ever!

[Plain Lucky]

Bayco's in Seymour is A++

Wonderful folks, known them for years

Get some of their bohemian sausage while you're there. Boil it or grill it then slice it down the middle, add mustard, and eat with a slice of bread like a hot dog - better than a steak!!!
