The locker I took mine to in years past never mixed, they always bagged and tagged the meat and kept it seperate..now this year, all they labeled was "Deer not for sale" so I was not happy about that, but it was already there. So I really like this list, anyone up around north central Iowa, southern minnesota know any good places? I always wanted to try Hayward, MN but dont know anyone that takes it there. I just hate the thought of driving hours to drove off meat, paying for it, and driving to pick it up... especially if the meat comes out unedible....
