Chesters Wild Meat & Game

Chesters Wild Meat & Game is a family-owned deer and wild game processing facility located in Kalamazoo, MI. They provide a wide range of professional meat processing services, from field dressing through final cutting and packaging along with custom livestock meat processing.

Additional services include mobile slaughter, taxidermy, processing of other wild game and specialty meats, and a retail shop offering merchandise and spices.

Deer processing includes boneless choice cuts, backstraps, tenderloins, and burger, all vacuum sealed.

Processing starts with hanging and chilling each deer, followed by professional skinning, quartering, trimming, and custom cutting into steaks, roasts, backstraps, tenderloins, and other desired cuts.

Custom options such as grinding and sausage making are available, and all finished products are vacuum sealed for freshness and storage.

Customers can drop off their deer and rely on the shop to handle the entire process from start to finish. Certain deer conditions may require additional handling, and bladders and bungholes must be removed prior to drop-off to avoid extra charges.
