Deer processor(s) in lower Richland County?

[augustastagecoach]

I've heard pleasent things from 601 Deer & Hog in St. Matthews on 601 on the curve across the river.

I was satisfied when I took some hogs there. Much more convenient to Bluff road than others.

601 dude is creepy and they are expensive and they will short you.

601 dude is creepy .

I feel the same.

[Luvin' Labs]

I think 601 is better than it used to be. At least from what I've heard recently.

Game warden I know uses Wedgefield processors. Headed toward Sumter turn right on Wedgefield Hwy and then take left on Cane Savannah (I think) and go about a mile and on left.

From what Ive heard, Wedgefield sprung up as someone who used to work at Peach Orchard.

Bobby does a good job with pigs. And deer. Never felt shorted by him.

Peach Orchard is very clean and reasonable when Ive used them.

Now Swamp, when are you going to get a deer?

Michael Smith runs Wedgefield processing and you won't find a nicer guy. I take a couple a year to him.

In my opinion, peach orchard makes better sausage, so I take s few to them as well.

Can't go wrong with either

I'm convinced animals aren't the only thing he processes.

Wedgefield hog sausage is shit. Absolutely terrible.

Yall kill a ton more than I do, this may be a stupid question but I honestly do not know the answer. Does anywhere make Bacon?

[willk]

Not that I know of. I'm not really sure if it would be worth while to try and make it from a wild pig. It may be a breed thing with domesticated pigs that are better for bacon. I've never really thought about it to be honest.

Good point, I never thought of that. I just thought of it the other day when "they" said we will all get cancer for eating bacon.

If you do go to peach orchard,ask for mike.hes the red hair fella.hes always well mannered and he knows his stuff.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I have used both Peach Orchard and 601, like them both (prefer Peach Orchard, but 601 is a lot closer). The one in Wedgefield is new to me.

I'm trying to find something more in a direct "on the route" way between just east of Eastover and Forest Acres, so I'm not back tracking, for morning "before work" drop offs.

[cusportsman]

There isn't one that I know of in your desired area. Be a good market for one though...

I'm in this same boat. Wedgefield is your closest option.

Butcher house in south Congaree best quality of meat processing I have ever had very reasonable it's on church street just off 302 or you can pull in off 302 there is a sign on both roads

[Swamp Rat]

Resurrecting this thread... anybody new in 2016? Again, looking for a drop off type processor between Eastover/601 and downtown Columbia... Not 601, Peach Orchard, etc... I want a pre-work-kill drop off.

Anybody new in 2016?

Wedge field is your closest option. They don't seem to trim the connective tissue out of the meat before grinding or cubing. They are however, fast, clea , and reasonably priced.

I thought they folded?
