About Custom Deer Processing

Custom Deer Processing in Winder, Georgia, operates as both a butcher shop and a taxidermy provider, giving hunters east of Atlanta a one-stop option after the hunt. Winder sits in Barrow County, a region surrounded by active deer and turkey hunting land, so local demand for these services runs high each fall. The shop has a 3-star rating across 4 reviews, which suggests a mixed experience, so it's worth calling ahead to ask specific questions about turnaround times and pricing. It's a practical option for hunters who want meat processing and mount work handled locally.

Services & Process

On the butcher side, the shop breaks down deer carcasses into steaks, roasts, ground venison, and sausage, packaged and labeled for the freezer. Taxidermy services include shoulder mounts and likely European skull mounts for whitetail deer, which are the most requested work in this region. Some combined shops also offer skinning and caping assistance for hunters who aren't sure how to prep their animal for a mount. Having a licensed butcher and a taxidermist available at the same location saves time and reduces the risk of the cape spoiling during transport.

Service Area

Custom Deer Processing serves hunters throughout Barrow County and the surrounding communities, including Auburn, Bethlehem, and Carl. Its location in Winder makes it accessible for hunters coming from the Monroe and Jefferson areas as well. Customers from the eastern Atlanta suburbs also make the drive when local options are limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my deer processed and mounted at the same place?
Yes, Custom Deer Processing handles both meat butchering and taxidermy services. You can drop off your animal and request both at the same visit.
How is deer processing priced?
Most processors charge by the animal or by the cut, with extras for specialty items like sausage or jerky. It's best to call (678) 425-1200 for current pricing before you bring your deer in.
What cuts can I request when having my deer processed?
Standard processing usually includes steaks, roasts, ribs, and ground venison. Many shops also offer smoked sausage, breakfast sausage, and jerky for an additional charge.
How do I keep my deer cape in good condition before dropping it off?
Salt the inside of the hide generously if you can't get to the shop right away, and keep it refrigerated or on ice. Avoid folding the cape in a way that traps heat, which speeds up spoilage.
How long will I wait for a finished mount?
Taxidermy work generally takes 6 to 12 months because tanning, drying, and finishing all require careful time at each stage. Rush options are sometimes available but may cost more.
Does the shop work on animals other than deer?
Many combination processing and taxidermy shops handle turkey, hog, and occasionally fish in addition to deer. Call ahead to confirm what species they currently accept.
