Who Conducts Commercial Deer Harvests?

At this time Broken Arrow Ranch is the only company in the US conducting on-site, commercial harvesting of deer and antelope.

What We Do: Since 1983 Broken Arrow Ranch has been commercially harvesting surplus exotic deer and antelope for venison from Texas ranches. We have been a reliable and respected option for population management. The animals are processed and packaged for sale to fine dining restaurants and individual consumers throughout the United States.

How We Do It: A harvesting crew (shooter and skinner) travels to the ranch accompanied by a state meat inspector. We also tow a mobile processing facility to the ranch where the harvested animals are skinned and eviscerated. Animals are field-harvested with minimal stress by a long-distance head shot, typically 50 to 200 yards. We use a noise suppressor on the rifle to minimize disturbance to other animals. The processed animals are weighed then hung in the mobile processing facility’s built-in cooler built for transport back to our Ingram plant.

What The Rancher Can Expect From Us: We will discuss arrangements with the rancher before coming to the property. We will harvest only those animals designated. We will respect the property. We will harvest animals in a humane way and do as little as possible to disturb other animals on the property. We will gladly provide a list of references from ranches that we have been working with over the past years. Payment for the animals harvested will be made within 10 days from harvest.
