Deer Processing Service:

Deer Processing Procedure:

Tennessee Wild game MUST be: Skinned, Cleaned, Head and Feet removed.

Deer from any state outside of Tennessee must be boneless by law.

We cannot skin wild game due to TN State department of health regulations: “All wild game shall be skinned and eviscerated prior to entrance into any retail establishment.”

Wild game harvested in Tennessee MUST have a TWRA number on the license and the confirmation number.

Game harvested from outside the state of Tennessee will need a copy of the hunters license if a kill tag was not issued.

Processing times vary. Average turnaround time is 24 to 48 hours.

Please be prepared to pick up your wild game as soon as possible or within 24 hours of being called as our freezer space is very limited.

What People are saying

Tonight was my first time ever going into this shop. I love steak and the cuts looked amazing. Cooked my first NY Strip from this shop and it didn't disappoint at all! Well worth the price. Real tender and you can tell they sell only the best cuts."

— Robert Jordan Customer

"They have the Best Ribs and meats around, and the baby backs are so thick that I had to adjust my smoking time!!"

— Allen Welton

"Great selection of meats. Friendly accommodating staff. My place to go for fresh meat."

"You know a ribeye is good when you can cut it with a butter knife! Best quality steak I have found around! We also got a 5-pound-bag of chicken tenders! My son absolutely loves them!

We will definitely be back on a regular basis!

Thank you, Dons Meat Shop for meeting this local need! :)"

"This place is great and we have never been disappointed with the large inventory, price, quality or service we receive when we go to Don's. This is definitely the place to go if you are looking for something special for party or the holidays as they'll be happy to custom cut anything they have in stock. I can tell you from experience that serving 4 inch thick custom cut Porterhouses broken down at a carving station to a group of people a real crowd pleaser."
