Chesters Wild Meat & Game - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Chester’s does a great job processing our deer. Pick up and drop off is smooth and the prices are very fair. It’s a 40 min drive one way but it’s worth it to come here.

We received donated? venison from 12 Baskets food bank and it didn't have a lot of fat, but was really tasty. We would definitely recommend buying from Chester's.

I've used several butchers and this is the best place to go hands down. Very friendly people there for drop off and pickup. Tons of options for processing if that's what your into, I love to cook and just like a combo cut which is a great value here.

Everything I got was very nicely vacuum sealed, something I wish my other butchers had done. If you're storing your meat for a long period of time, this is miles ahead of paper and plastic wrap.

Not only is their packaging the best, but their prices are an excellent value.

Very impressed. Chester met me after hours so I could drop off my deer. Friendly. My buddy got his deer done and was very happy. I butcher my own and thought I'd give him a try. Excited for venison brats!

Prompt and friendly service, but the product is worth more than 5 stars. Jerky, Brats, Snack sticks and Sausage! Not only does he post his team working on individual deer to show you get your animal, the taste of the end product is top shelf. The only place I would recommend and use.

Thank you to Chester and his team.

My husband made the trip to Chester's to have his deer processed. It was kind of pricey for the specialty sausages and jerky etc but he said it's the best he has had so worth the money. Wish there was a way to pick up the ground and specialty at the same time as we live over an hour away. Overall good experience.

Incredibly quick and efficient, 100% worth it if you need someone to process your deer for you.

Edit: I am coming back to add more to this review after trying more of my meat. Everything is so good. The deer dawgs, the brats, snack sticks, jerky, sausage, salami. Even the burger isn’t offensive. Exceptional. You’d never know it was venison. Anybody who’s related to him must be lucky lol.

Original review:

I brought in the first deer I've ever got and didn't really know the 'drill' on these types of things but I was taken aback at how friendly and helpful Chester was. They gave me an "A" on my field dressing and said it was better than most they see. Chester did a great job helping me get my harvest entered into the state database and then walk me through his process. He also took a lot of time to answer my questions when I had called to pick up my meat. When I picked up my meat, the front staff was also extremely friendly. It was a great experience, the jerky and snack sticks are phenomenal, and pricing seems fair for what I get (I got the Hunter's Bundle, highly recommend). Bonus that everything comes vacuum-sealed with the net weight labeled. I brought in a 106 lb doe and got 46 pounds of meat back. Would recommend to anybody.
