I highly suggest contacting them.

That place is practically under new management every year for the past 4-5 years. With the same issues as you described. This is the first I’ve heard of bad meat from them.

Not too long ago, they had to stop taking deer because they were at capacity. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, but the owners will make it right if you contact them.

It’s very very odd that the meat smell/taste issues are passed on to each new owner. And is the cause of each going out of business.

It must have something to do with the equipment/freezers, because the equipment has not changed in years.

Again, contact them.

I think the issue is they simply get overwhelmed with deer, and don't have the help needed to process them. Hatton's (same as Winnsboro) ran it for a couple of years then sold out due to lack of decent available labor. The dude who took it from them got in waaaayyy over his head. He's who sold me the nasty meat. He bowed out after a year and cited labor issues. The new people this year seem to have it going better, and were smart enough to shut down for a while when they reached capacity. The facility itself is pretty nice and well set up. I think the main issues is a shallow gene/labor pool.
