Des Moines' #1 Deer Processor: Why Hunters Choose Maxwell Custom Beef
Every hunter knows that what happens after the harvest matters just as much as the hunt itself.
At Maxwell Custom Beef, we've built our reputation on one simple promise: quicker, more meticulous, and better deer processing for Iowa hunters. That's why sportsmen and women across Central Iowa continue to trust us as the Des Moines area's premier deer processor.
Fast Turnaround Times That Hunters Appreciate
Nobody wants their deer sitting in a cooler for weeks.
Unlike many processors that leave hunters waiting for extended periods during the season, Maxwell Custom Beef offers a 3-7 day turnaround time on fresh deer processing.
That means less waiting, fresher product, and more time enjoying your hard-earned venison with family and friends.
Guaranteed Your Deer Back
One of the biggest concerns hunters have when dropping off a deer is whether they'll receive their own meat.
At Maxwell Custom Beef, we understand that concern.
That's why we proudly offer a simple guarantee:
You get your deer back.
No mixing. No uncertainty. No questions.
The venison you harvest is the venison you take home.
We Accept Full Carcass, Field-Dressed Deer
Convenience matters during hunting season.
We accept full carcass, field-dressed deer, making drop-off simple and straightforward for hunters coming from Des Moines, Central Iowa, and surrounding communities.
Before bringing in your deer, be sure to review our website for current drop-off requirements, processing guidelines, and cutting instruction information.
HUSH Program Accepted for the 2026-2027 Season
Maxwell Custom Beef is proud to participate in the Help Us Stop Hunger (HUSH) program during the 2026-2027 deer season.
