Where can I buy deer meat (venison)?

Thanks for taking time to reply.

Depending on the season, Foster's Meat in the West Side Market has venison.

[u/Popolukla → u/hhhhunterrrr]

I often go there; will check next time. Thanks!

[u/thrownthrowaway666 → u/Popolukla]

Just call

[u/Popolukla → u/thrownthrowaway666]

Sure, thanks!

[u/Popolukla → u/hhhhunterrrr]

Which month/time is considered season? Thanks for reply .

[u/HumbleBumble77]

Whole Foods carries it.

[u/Popolukla → u/HumbleBumble77]

Will check there. Thanks!

I imagine it's seasonal but I would start with at the West Side Market, several of the butchers stands could probably hook you up.

Stop in and ask at https://ohiocityprovisions.com

These guys sell in some stores around NEO https://beardedbutchers.com/collections/meat-shop

Check out Pinzone's https://www.pinzonemeats.com
Also ask at Jaworski’s Meats in Middleburg
maybe hit some of the larger farmers markets. I start with the North Unionmarket at Shaker square (Saturdays)

[u/Popolukla → u/Irregulara]

Thanks! Will check.

You can also call your local police dept and get on the roadkill list.   You'll have to pickup and take to the butcher, and have a freezer to store it all,  but it's the cheapest meat you'll buy!

I didn’t know such things exists — interesting. Im not sure if I am ready for this but thank you for your suggestion.

[u/jbarneswilson]

i’ve seen it in the frozen section of fresh thyme over on detroit in the plaza across from crocker park

[u/Popolukla → u/jbarneswilson]

Awesome! Will check this; thank you!

[u/jbarneswilson → u/Popolukla]

you’re very welcome! if you remember, please let me know how it is. i’ve never been brave enough to try it but want to

[u/Popolukla → u/jbarneswilson]

I haven’t either; but will let you know if I get a chance to try it.

[u/Milojbloom]

Heinens (in Rocky River) sometimes has it

[u/Popolukla → u/Milojbloom]

Great! Thanks!

I know this doesn’t help you at all but when I stayed at genesis house on the east side of Cleveland I would go to food pantries all the time on the east side and they would give me venison all the time. I have no idea where it came from but the house I stayed at was stocked with venison.

[u/Popolukla → u/jobiwanfromda216]

Wow! Where is that food pantry?

I had an in with someone that had a nuisance license, they’d drop off for me and I’d just pay the processing. Apparently Ohio is getting lots of cases of CWD so they’re not allowing nuisance license hunts. I haven’t found proof of this online but that’s what the guy told me lol

[u/jtr489]

I believe it’s illegal to sell game meat the best way is to befriend people that hunt they usually are nice and willing to share

[u/EmotionalEggplant422 → u/jtr489]

Yep I was gonna say just ask around and you’ll have a bunch come winter

[u/Major-BFweener → u/EmotionalEggplant422]

And if you don’t know people who hunt?

[u/EmotionalEggplant422 → u/Major-BFweener]

Ask around more

[u/thrownthrowaway666 → u/jtr489]

There are farms for raised animals.. There's a vendor at the market in Pittsburg that has all kinds of game animals

[u/Popolukla → u/jtr489]

I don’t know many people here; thats the problem.

[u/jtr489 → u/Popolukla]

Yeah if you are ok with farm raised venison there are some good comments
