Meat Processors in Murray County, Georgia

If you are hunting the Cohutta Wilderness or private timber tracts in Murray County, you need a reliable spot to take your deer before the meat spoils in the Georgia humidity. The terrain around the mountains is steep and rugged, making for a long pack out, so having a local processor ready to handle the skinning and butchering is essential.

There is currently one specialized facility serving hunters in this area, located north of Chatsworth in Crandall. Cohutta Wholesome Harvesting provides professional processing for those coming off the ridge. Having a shop right near the foothills saves you a long drive into town when you have a buck in the bed of the truck.

Using meat processors in Murray County

A processor skins, quarters, ages, cuts and packages your animal, and can turn trim into sausage, snack sticks or jerky. Many shops post cut sheets in advance and cap how many animals they take per day during peak weeks.

What to ask before you commit

Are you accepting deer right now, and is there a daily cap?
Do I get my own animal back, or is trim pooled?
What is the base price and what do specialty products cost per pound?
Do you have after-hours drop-off, and does the animal need to be field dressed?
How long until pickup, and how is the meat packaged?

What it usually costs

Basic cut-and-wrap is often a flat fee per animal, with sausage, sticks and jerky charged per pound on top. Specialty products regularly cost more than the base processing itself.

Timing matters

Warm weather is the enemy. Field dress immediately, keep the carcass shaded and open to airflow, and get it to the processor the same day when temperatures are above the 40s.
