To donate venison through Hunters Sharing the Harvest, use Stoltzfus Butcher Shop. 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 100% of local shops in HSH, against 36% statewide. After-hours drop-off is available at Stoltzfus Butcher Shop.

The services listed most often here are bologna, jerky, fresh sausage and summer sausage. Bear and elk aren't mentioned in these listings; call ahead to confirm a shop will take one. Pricing isn't posted for these shops. Ask for the base rate, then skinning, caping and specialty product charges.

Clinton County is in the PGC's Northcentral Region. Region at a glance: The Pennsylvania Wilds: big woods, State Game Lands and the elk range around Elk, Cameron and Clearfield counties. If every cooler here is full, neighboring Union, Centre, Lycoming and Snyder counties have 17 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.
