To donate venison through Hunters Sharing the Harvest, use Strait's Butcher Shop and Buck Ridge Butcher Shop. Younker's Meat Market is on the Game Commission's CWD cooperating processor list, approved for proper disposal of high-risk parts. That's 67% of local shops in HSH, against 36% statewide. None of these processors list a 24/7 drop-off. If you hunt until dark, call ahead about late intake or keep the deer iced.
Specialty work advertised by shops on this list: fresh sausage and smoked products. Bear and elk aren't mentioned in these listings; call ahead to confirm a shop will take one. No shop here publishes a base price online, so ask for the standard deer rate and any add-ons when you call.
Fulton County is in the PGC's Southcentral Region. Region at a glance: Ridge-and-valley country from Harrisburg out to Bedford and Fulton, plus Michaux and Tuscarora forest land. If every cooler here is full, neighboring Franklin, Bedford, Blair and Huntingdon counties have 21 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.
Hunters Sharing the Harvest
Drop a legally harvested deer at a participating processor and the venison goes to Pennsylvania food banks. Program sponsors usually cover the processing; confirm with the shop.
