Anyone have any recommendations on getting deer processed on the northshore area? Have used whitetails and Double Ds in the past but wasn’t sure if there was anymore lesser known options. TIA and good luck to anyone in the woods

Cutrer's is good, but last we talked to them it would be September 2021 before we could have a pig butchered they are so backed up.

DD is really good for the price; they are super cheap.

DD never gives you back your own meat, fwiw.

I heard he opened back up, but only strictly as a processor. He doesnt gut, skin, or anything anymore.

I used C&C Smokehouse last year and was very happy with them. A little more expensive than most others but it was very good smoked sausage

Fortenberry's is the best. Great Quality and Quick Service

Fortenberry in between Picayune and Bogalusa in the country. The 3 I did there last year were ready in 2-3 days. Sausage is amazing.

I visit Armond’s for their sliced garlic roast beef and ham and was considering giving them a shot at processing my deer this year. Was especially looking forward to their deer tamales. But then I tried their in-house Italian pork sausage and was very less than impressed with the flavor and consistency. At this point, unless someone on here can somehow convince me otherwise, I’ll pass.

Regarding Fortenberry’s, I like their ground meat blends but find their sausage to be too dry—even at 50/50. What ratio does everyone prefer?

60/40 is my go to.

Why not give them a hind quarter and try them out? I’ve heard good things

I bring my deer to Armonds quite often. I love it. I typically get their green onion hot sausage and their bacon burger ground meat. I think it’s fantastic. I’ve had an issue a time or to about them giving me back my ice chest damaged which pissed me off, but I do like their processing.

I’m not huge on tamales, but my dad is and LOVES the deer tamales from them.

Go see PJ at Bergeron’s in Covington on 190. Everything I have tried from there is excellent. If you want to make the drive to Morganza, see Tim at LeBlancs Processing. He is my favorite.
