The season ends Jan. 1st. That's the last day we have a full crew in at night to skin and clean deer. We're working here the rest of the week and can take in field dressed deer and pieces 9 am to 7 pm. If you take hogs during the day after the 1st, give us a call to see if we can clean them for you.
January 5th is the Youth Hunt Day so we'll be open and can skin and clean deer and hogs 9 am to 9 pm.
January 12th is the Frozen Meat Day. All frozen meat is taken on one day. We'll take your clean wrapped frozen meat and process it for you. All orders will be ready for pick up on the following Saturday, January 19th, our last day of the season.

2 hours, 4 hours! Do not let deer or wild hogs sit ungutted. IT WILL SPOIL even in the cool weather we are having.
You'd be surprised and perhaps horrified at what we hear. You can't set a carcass for the day in the shade or under a tarp or in a stream and expect that the meat will stay fresh. The good Lord put a skin covering on deer. It does what it is intended to do. It keeps the heat inside the animal. In order for you to have good quality meat- and have it processed here at Cordray's - you must remove the guts within 2 hours and get the carcass under some sort of refrigeration (ice in the body cavity counts) by 4 hours. Please don't be surprised if you leave all your deer or wild hogs until the last drive of the day and we refuse to take them for processing. It doesn't take but a few minutes to field dress a deer and put some bags of ice into the body cavity. Looking forward to a busy last two days!

Do you know these folks? Call them and tell them you want their venison!
These folks still have meat orders here. It's possible that they've never gotten the message. Can you call them and let them know we're still holding it for them? We can't sell it to recoup our money. We need them to come and get it or give it to you!
Do you know these people? Call them!

The free hunt days do NOT extend deer or any other season.
