Best Deer Processors in Shirleysburg, PA
The 8 best-rated deer processors in and around Shirleysburg, Huntingdon County: 1 in Shirleysburg itself and the rest within about 20 miles. Shops in town come first, then each group is ranked by Google rating weighted by review count, state program participation and distance.
How we rank: a Google rating with fewer reviews counts for less than one with many; shops on the 2026 state program lists, HSH partners and CWD cooperators get a small boost; farther shops get a small penalty per mile. Shops in town are listed ahead of nearby ones. Nobody pays for placement. Details

Sullivan's Butcher Shop and Cold Springs Processing take Hunters Sharing the Harvest donations. Ranck's Butchershop LLC, Mountain Man Custom Butchering and Clevenger's Deer Processing are on the Game Commission's CWD cooperating processor list, approved for proper disposal of high-risk parts. No shop here advertises after-hours drop-off, so plan to arrive during business hours or keep the deer cold overnight.
Specialty work advertised by shops on this list: snack sticks, bologna, fresh sausage and venison hot dogs. None of these listings mention bear or elk, so call first if you have one. No shop here publishes a base price online, so ask for the standard deer rate and any add-ons when you call.
Shirleysburg is in Huntingdon County, in the PGC Southcentral Region. Region at a glance: Ridge-and-valley country from Harrisburg out to Bedford and Fulton, plus Michaux and Tuscarora forest land. Other Huntingdon County towns with listed processors: Huntingdon, Mapleton Dep and Petersburg. Rifle season fills coolers fast on opening weekend, so call before you head out.
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.
