Adams obviously does as good a job as any other volume processor in the Southeast, as they have been in business for about 35 years now, and to my knowledge are one of, if not THE, largest in several states. They routinely cut over 3k deer a year and this year will be closer to 4k. I can personally vouch for the fact that you DO get your own meat back in anything except, Summer sausage, Salami, or sticks, which is explained, as they bulk mix and smoke this meat in large quantities. As for the amount of meat you get back, they wont give you anything they wouldnt eat, meaning if both shoulders are blood shot and ruined, they throw them away, as I do myself. Deer also only average about a 45% return on dressed weight, and this is if the deer is dressed properly and doesnt still have the arsehole and or even the heart and lungs left in it. Yea you would be surprised as about 50% arent dressed even close to correctly when dropped off there. Adams also does more meat (weight) for HFTH than any other processor in the state, wins the award every year. I promise they have absolutely NO desire to keep any of your meat as they have as much as they can handle most all season long.
