Need new deer processor in Cenla
Posted on 10/28/19 at 4:34 pm

Who has one that may be unknown? I have used a place that I really like but the last three deer the ground meat was 'off', I have used 50/50 pork butt and venison for 15 years but these last three deer almost taste as if they are rotten. Literally had to throw out all of it.
Would like to try some place new. We need some ground meat. Please dont preach to me about not adding so much to it, I dont particularly like venison, much prefer beef but like to use the game we kill.
Any recommendations? Am open to sausages and other products as well if it is highly recommended.
TIA

I’ve used Guillory’s on 28 east in Pineville, a couple three times and had no complaints. They make great sausage. Original location is in Pine Prairie. Fairly priced too.

I have always heard people use Town & Country. I really want to shoot a deer this year (hadn’t shot one in probably 8 years l) but I have always been off-put giving my deer to processors. Just no real way to know what you are getting back.

I really don't want to put the place on blast because I feel they are good people.
I had a batch that was rotten two years ago, they admitted they had had a freezer problem and gave me some credit in exchange.
But these last two deer have had an off taste as well.

I guess it’s obvious but the best way to know what you are getting is to do it yourself.

This/\ And it's really not hard to make your own sausage out of deer meat. Even if you just have an old fashioned hand grinder you can process deer meat and pork in no time once it's all cut up in chunks for running through the grinder.
That way you know what you've got in it as far as proportions, seasonings, etc.
I would recommend getting a designated sausage stuffer. I have one that will hold 7 lbs. of product and has 4 different tubes to fit different casing sizes and it is pretty fast for a hand crank machine. I can run through 7 lbs. of stuffing in about 10 minutes by myself.

I trust someone else processing my meat more than I trust myself

I love to cook and it just made sense for me to get into making my own sausage. For a couple hundred dollars in equipment, I can buy pork butts on sale for $.99 a lb. and make my own hot, Italian, green onion and breakfast sausage. You'd be surprised how little seasonings it takes to season the pork to make a great end product.
I've also gotten into smoking pork bellies to make my own bacon and beef eye of round for making my own beef jerky. I'm smoking 6 lbs. of beef tomorrow after it marinates overnight.

No it isn't.
As dumb as it sounds I really like the people. I just think they are too busy. That being said, my wife has decided she just hates deer meat now because of the flavor being off putting. I really need her on board. She used to like it more than me.

I heard M&M stopped doing deer this year because they were having trouble keeping employees? Brought one to Town&Country today. We’ll see how they do. Somebody also told me a new place opened up on 28 East in Buckeye near the old 4 Acres hamburger joint. Supposed to be good and less expensive than most of the other places.

M&M did quit this year. Brought a couple to Town and Country also.

I've been doing the same thing for a few years now. It's a fun hobby and is the only way you know whose deer meat you got.

I think the biggest concern for most hunters is breaking the deer down and getting it refrigerated, especially this time of year when the weather is still pretty warm and meat can start to spoil quickly.
Easier to skin/gut and take it to a butcher to store in their coolers until they can process it.

I used Landreneau's in Pine Prairie last year.

It's been a while since I've lived in Cenla, but my family used to always bring theirs to Town & Country. I've also had a deer processed at Chandler's out on 28W before.
