Suggestions

  • It is best to clean and field-dress your wild game before you bring it to Wengers. Your meat will taste much better and you will save money doing this yourself. Click on this link for some great tips on field-dressing your game.
  • Skinning is a service we provide, however there is an added charge.
  • If you skin an animal yourself, please cover the carcass (with plastic) before you bring it to us. Skinned carcasses easily attract dirt and bacteria that can contaminate the meat.
  • If you bring us a buck, take the rack home with you. We’ll be happy to cut it off while you wait. Trophy animals that are to be skinned for mounting should be picked-up within a few days.
  • Check out our product list before you come. If you have an idea of what you want from your animal we will be able to service you quickly and service our other customers efficiently as well. The first week of buck season can get pretty hectic.
  • Our jerky is made from whole muscle parts. We do not make jerky from ground meat.
  • As December is a month busy with deer season and the holidays, we seldom will have your smoked products ready for pick-up before January of the next year. We will call you when we have your order complete, and we prefer that you pick up your order after both the fresh items and the smoked items are done. Please do not call us to ask if your order is complete. We will let you know.
  • If you do your own cutting and bring us the meat for processing, please be sure the meat is clean from dirt, hair excess blood. We reserve the right to reject meat that has not been properly cleaned. Also, we prefer that you do not grind your meat before bringing it to us for further processing.
  • You will receive your own fresh meat back to you. We will not keep your meat separate from other orders during the manufacturing of smoked bolognas, sausages, and snack items. We realize that many hunters prefer this, but the increase in time and labor necessary to process each order individually is simply too expensive.
  • We do offer after-hours drop-off. Please call our listed number and listen to the answering machine. During deer season there will be a cell phone number you can call to arrange for drop-off.
  • We do not have Sunday hours. If weather is unusually warm, we will make special drop-off times on Sunday afternoon posted on our business answering machine.
