Meiers Game Processing — Local services in Draper

Do NOT bring your game here to be processed!!!! These people are absolute crooks in my eyes. They gave me a roughly 30% return on a fully dressed buck mule deer. 114lbs dressed and I got back 38lbs of boneless. I brought in a nice buck mule deer that weighed 114lbs gutted, with no head, skin, or legs. It was a perfect specimen, heart shot through rib cage, no shoulder or rear shot. Killed the evening prior, gutted perfectly, wrapped in game bags and ice in cavity. Drove up the next morning nice and cold and fresh. Asked for the regular steak cuts, focused on maximum amount of steak cuts and grind what is left over and add beef trim to ground. They told me they guarantee my animal back since I’m not doing jerky and just doing ground and steaks. (They don’t give back your actual animal for jerky she told me, come to find out it’s also ground as well that’s not your animal) Was told to expect 50% return(even though 60% should be expected on a nice specimen that’s headless). So that means I should have gotten back 57-68lbs. When they called me to come pick up my deer 3 weeks later I came in that evening and they handed me one crate. I thought it looked small and asked how much boneless meat they gave me and they wouldn’t give me an answer, as I’m holding the crate. They looked at my order form that had the recorded dressed weight (headless, legless, hideless) which was 114 lbs. he said I should have upwards of 55 lbs in my hands. I took his word for it (foolishly) and when I went home and weighed it, was surprised to see I received 38 POUNDS total. 16 pounds of roasts, steaks, and loinsteaks, and then 22lbs of ground. 38-POUNDS TOTAL return. That’s about 30% return rather than 50-60% return like it should be. Considering how perfect condition this specimen was, nice and fresh and clean kill, no shoulder or rump shot, Should have been given 57-68 pounds, 20-30 more pounds then they gave me. They were closed by the time I weighed it so I drove back the next day and all they would do is offer me a refund for 170$ I paid and to LET THEM KEEP MY DEER. They walked me through the meat freezer to show me I don’t have any other crates and I saw a very large amount of crates of unlabeled ground deer. I asked what those were and he said that’s everybody’s ground deer and told me that they actually don’t give your actual deer back for ground meat either. At that point they pretty much told me they can’t help me and wanted me to leave, after I thoroughly explained I’m not happy with a 30% return on my CLEAN perfect dressed hung animal. I will learn to butcher my own game from now on. I have shot way smaller deer through the rump and gotten 20+ pounds more meat from other butcher shops. These guys make me sick, do not support this place. TERRIBLE customer service and completely dishonest about what you’re paying for. Carson’s in Lehi was a much...

Just great wild game processing. Love the vacuum sealing. All the steaks are always clean and with consistent thickness. I have NEVER found a hair in my meat, which is not something I can say about some other processors.

I know no hunter ever believes that they ever get back all their meat, but I don't have that concern here. They have been very consistent over dozens of elk. Either they are extremely careful to always take just the right amount...or...they're actually just honest and you get what you should. No complaints here.

Clay, the owner, is also a great guy. It's not uncommon to find him doing the cutting himself. He's also always happy to stop his work and talk with his customers.

I have been bringing meat to them for 10 years now, despite the fact that they are an hour...

I took in a mature bull elk to be processed this year and it was the first time that i have taken anything there. I WILL NEVER TAKE AN ANIMAL THERE AGAIN. RECOMMEND NOT TO ANY ONE. Dropped it of and the weight was 660 pounds and the cart weight was 169 pounds. That left 491 pounds. Got the call that it was done. Went down and the cost was $490.65. Asked how much meat was there they told me 150 pounds. That tells me that the bones weight was 341 Pounds. I DON'T THINK SO. I had a basic cut done no jerky i had 4 pounds made into summer sausage. I understand that there is some that you don't get back but not that much..I WILL NEVER TAKE AN OTHER ONE THERE AGAIN. THEY ARE CROOKS. I hope that people read before going there you will loose around 30-50% of you meat and...
