Beck's Meat Processing — Local services in Town of Nekimi

With how I feel right now, two stars is generous.(actually,I've changed my mind while writing this, one star for the initial quick chop, that's it) Although the initial cutting of the deer is quick, the initial price is a little more than other places, not a deal breaker though. My issue is everything else. Customer service is not only usually rude, but can never give me the right information. I also brought me deer in opening gun day, I just got my 'jerky' today. I have never ever had to wait this long, everywhere else it had been ready before Christmas. I would be willing to look past this, if it had actually been the proper jerky that I received. What is this? When I ordered it I was told it would be jerky, like the beef jerky you buy at the store, and that's what I wanted, meat I could store in my cupboard, meat I could chew on like a dog. I live in an apartment, I don't have room to put a whole deer in my freezer and fridge, that's why I got jerky. Im not gonna be able to eat this before it expires. Never once was chopped and formed jerky mentioned. When I told them what I wanted I also specifically asked that whatever part of the deer couldn't be used for proper jerky be returned as cuts or gound, since i know only certain parts can be used as proper jerky. They even have proper beef jerky available in their store! I want that, but my deer! I shouldn't have trusted them, and opened the box the second they handed it to me, but now I'm home and it's too late because they are closed.. I guess that's what I get for trusting places. When cedar creek shut down, people told me becks would be good. Never listening to them again, that's for sure. Almost a whole deer wasted in my opinion. Not worth it taking your deer here unless you just want cuts of meat, meatsticks, or summer sausage. Just expect wrong info, rude people, and a long wait time. Extremely unhappy and never coming here again for anything, and definitely not recommending...

Unless you plan on using your whole deer within a month or two, make sure to repack your venison yourself. I thought it would be, like, sealed and when I saw the paper I figured they wrapped it in paper to stop sweating or make it easier to grab or maybe even just to look nice. Should have used or redone it sooner, it was just wrapped in butcher paper, that's it. Needless to say it's not as good as it should be anymore. I was promised that I get my deer back, but I'm wondering if I got the right deer back. Over the last two months that I've been eating certain cuts, I noticed it tastes like a much older deer than the one I brought in, and I know for a fact my deer was cleaned out very well before I brought her in, which was the same day I shot her and it was a clean shot, but this one tastes..... like a gut shot deer that wasn't cleaned right away. Believe me, you can tell the difference. Plus, I've seen in pictures that they vacuum sealed other people's pork and stuff, why couldn't they do that to the deer? I probably could have added this as an edit to my other review, but its kinda long and a different issue. Between this and the "jerky" I got back, ill be trying...

The processed venison I finally got back was SUPER salty, can't even eat more than half a stick at once. Not sure why they added so much salt, it still has to be refrigerated/frozen. My other major issue is that it takes so long to process and that either the employees don't even know how long or they don't care enough to give a real answer. First time I called to ask an approximate time I could get it (so I could make sure i had the money) I was told 1-2 weeks longer about a week before December. January came along and I called again, this time I was told one to two more months. Time finally came and I got a call saying it would be $100+, but the math didn't add up so I called again and talked to someone else, it was resolved to the real price, a little less than half, but just make sure to check the math for yourself. My deer didn't turn out very well, so next year I'll try a different place. I know others have had good experiences, I guess it just depends on what your getting and what...
