Mickey Brown's are really good. They only accept deboned meat though.

If you go there, also get some of their burritos made.

John Folse tamales

They really aren’t hard to make on your own and I believe much better. And needless to say cheaper.

I’ve gotten plenty from Mickey Brown but I find he has just gotten too big and they just aren’t the same.

Just my 2 cents. Plenty of other recipes online. Good luck.

Mickey Brown's. Marshall Brown is who you need to talk to. 13lbs of boneless deer meat is what you need for an order of tamales. If you bring it on the bone, his son will debone if. Don't remember what he charges to debone but somewhere around $50.

I enjoyed Mickey Browns tamales, but if you don't eat them often I felt like got freezer burnt because they weren't vacuum sealed. They may have changed cuz this was a few years ago.
I also liked their burritos, but recently brought some meat to LeBlancs in Morganza and I think they are better. I think they make tamales too

I really liked their tamales in a spicy red sauce. Had a bunch made a few years back and turned them into a dip at just about every get together I'd go to and they were always a hit.

I've had some made a couple times at Deer Depot by Pete Giovenco in St. Rose. They're pretty damn good, would definitely recommend.

Gwen’s tamales in picayune makes really good tamales. Relatively inexpensive as well.

I’ve been told their tamales are great, but I haven’t tried them yet. They are making some for me right now. 15 lbs makes like 30 dozen so they better be good. Anyone else use them for deer processing?

The best Deer Tamales I've ever ate came from the Houma Area. The best deer boudin I've ever ate came from Chris's Specialty Meats in Zachary. It was probably some of the best boudin I've ever eaten. Think he paid like $4-$5lb seems like I remember him bitching about the price but it was damn good.
