That's 30% of local shops in HSH, against 36% statewide. No shop here advertises after-hours drop-off, so plan to arrive during business hours or keep the deer cold overnight.
If you want more than steaks and burger, the shops here list fresh sausage, smoked products and boneless cuts. None of these listings mention bear or elk, so call first if you have one. None of these processors list prices online; most quote a flat base rate plus extras for sausage, sticks and caping.
