Deer Processing - 2019-20 season
We Have After Hours Deer Drop Off for the 2019-20 hunting season! (Hide on only.)
Please don't drop off hide off whole deer carcass, or trim, in the after hours cooler.
Deer Processing Cut-Sheet
Story City Locker will accept deer carcasses for processing if they are:
- Carcasses gutted with the hide on, (a $100 deposit is required), or
- Trim, bone in or boneless (A $50 deposit is required. De-boned carcass is not accepted between March 1st and September 1st.)
Removing the hide from a gutted carcass doesn't produce trim, by our definition. Clean skinned and quartered carcass is considered bone in trim.
Story City Locker reserves the right to refuse any carcass or trim not properly handled. Trim in garbge bags WILL NOT be accepted. Treating your venison with care will yield a higher quality product.
