Meat Processors in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania

Lycoming County provides plenty of ground for hunting whitetails and bears, but the work really starts after the shot. When you have an animal down, you need a local setup that understands how to handle game properly and get it cooled down fast. Most of the action in this area centers around the West Branch Susquehanna River valley, where access is straightforward during the busy rifle seasons.

There is currently one specialized shop serving hunters in this part of the county. Country Valley Meats in Jersey Shore offers full processing services for those coming out of the nearby state forests. They handle the skinning, cutting, and vacuum sealing so you can get your venison into the freezer without the mess at home.

Using meat processors in Lycoming 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.
