*1ST R***e Hunters: We are good to take in 1st R***e harvest! This is open to everyone, new and previous customers. We are open Monday-Saturday 8:30A-4:30P (4P Last Drop off time) Note closed Sundays.

*PLEASE VOTE YES ON 83!!!

*Regarding smoking items (Summer Sausage and Snack Sticks): Starting 1st R***e, Wednesday Oct 14th, we will be pulling and freezing orders again like we did last year and will make all in Jan-March. This is to keep Troy on the cutting table for longer durations to accommodate more customers in our busiest seasons. We still turn away hundreds of customers 2nd-4th. This is an attempt to mitigate the number of customers we hate to turn away.

We have been plenty busy for Archery and Muzzleloading. Thank you for another successful opening seasons! We hope to maintain our cooler status, but it does fill up quick, especially staring 2nd R***e season. We will keep our answering machine updated and our website updated as we fill up.

Happy Fall!

Attention Hunters - We wanted to first THANK YOU for trusting us with your harvest the last 15 years. We look forward to seeing as many of you as we possibly can accommodate this season. Also, wanted to let you know some upcoming news for 2026-2027 Wild Game Seasons:

For the first time in 15 years, we decided we will be Closed Sundays. We have come to the realization that we are not getting any younger, we only have a limited time with our CEO before he's grown and on his own, and we are needing a day to recoup, reset and reenergize. And maybe, just maybe Troy can get a day or two to hunt!

We understand this may be a burden to our customers; here are some suggestions to keep your meat cool and dry;
#1 Gut your animal RIGHT AWAY, immediately after harvest.
#2 Skin your animal
#3 Ideal scenario is to hang in a cool, dry place in a garage or outside, away from the sun.
#4 If you can't hang, 1/4 and put in cooler(s). DO - use frozen milk/juice jugs. DO use game bags, pillowcases, anything that lets the meat breathe. DO use ice (BUT KEEP ICE IN THE BAG) You do NOT want to create moisture by ice melting. DO NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS!

EXICITING NEWS!! Troy is working on a NEW PRODUCT........
"JERKY STICKS!" A new ground/pressed jerky to complement our AWARD-WINNING whole muscle jerky.

AND - Bringing back by popular demand, HAWAIIAN SNACK STICKS!! (With a new twist)

ALSO - He's working on a NEW FLAVOR Snack Stick, in the works. He's still perfecting it before he releases it.

Happy and Safe Hunting!

🎄 Holiday & Scheduling Update 🎄

We have a few important updates to share with everyone:

• We are back to accepting animals for late season, for both previous and new customers.
• We will be closed for the Holidays from 12/24–1/1.
• Starting January 2, our hours will change to 5 days a week, 8:30am–4:00pm.
(Currently we are open 6 days a week and closed Sundays.)
• Drop-off times remain 9:00am–3:00pm.

To our previous customers we weren’t able to accommodate during 2nd–4th r***e season, we are truly sorry. We’re hoping many of you were able to quarter and freeze—if so, we can begin taking those animals in January.

For customers waiting on order status updates: if your portal shows “In Progress” or “In Freezer,” your animal has been processed and is most likely waiting on jerky. Jerky is a very labor-intensive process and takes extra time. You’re welcome to pick up what’s ready now and return later for the jerky if you prefer.

🥩 Stay tuned toward the end of January for 1/4, 1/2, and whole beef dates and pricing.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued support—it truly means a lot to our family business.

🎅 Merry Christmas from our family to yours! 🎅
Troy, Heidi & CEO Dean Crippen
