We have enjoyed elk medallions and venison loin so far-- simply prepared on the grill, which takes little time. We look forward to trying bison cuts as well. The medallions were delicious and made for... See more

Meat was great, disappointed is packaging

Meat was delivered on time of the scheduled delivery. The box was wet on the bottom and lacked a cooling element to keep the meat cool. The meat was cool to the touch. The meat was high quality and everyone loved it. My only suggestion is pack the boxes better for shipping so the meat stays colder

Portions far smaller than in the picture.
I received two fillets that are barely the size of stew beef.

Hello Pastor LesCallett, Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry the size didn't meet your expectations. We do list the weight in ounces or pounds for all our cuts, but to your point you may have purchased a smaller steak than what our largest portion. The photos are from our animals and correct to species and cut.

I hope everything else met or exceeded your expectations. Thank you for supporting us!

Fat-fingered number

I apparently fat-fingered the street address creating an undeliverable address. THB attempted to contact me unsuccessfully! My wife and both tried to contact THB but only got voicemail. No return calls. I sent emails and texts correcting the address but again no acknowledgement! To your credit it appears THB has re-shipped my order. I have only two issues1) lack of acknowledgement of my attempted contacts and 2) I wasn’t provided a shipping notification with the freight company’s name and tracking number! I realize I am responsible for setting this mess up, and I appreciate the end result precipated by THB! Thank you!

Hi Ronny- Thanks for the review!
We did attempt to contact you on multiple occasions and unable to do so. When we finally were able to contact you via email, we corrected the address immediately.
The tracking numnber is always provided via email when the items ship out. Pleasea note, many of our customers have said it can be found in their spam mailbox. Thank you again!

The bison was beautiful

The bison was beautiful. You even sent a recipe my way which also helped. The reason I can't be a regular client is the expensive price to send it. I need this kind of food...I felt much better for having eaten it, and my wife and son agreed. It's really what we need. But the shipping absolutely killed me

The meat was enjoyable.

I had trouble placing the order, but once it was accepted the delivery was amazingly fast. I haven’t tried all of the meat yet but what I had was very good. I would like to try other cuts in the future.

The meat is very flavorful

The meat is very flavorful. The 1st time that I cooked a Bison Brisket, I undercooked it, so it turned out a bit tough and chewy. The next time that I cooked one, I cooked it more like I would a Beef Brisket - Low & Slow (at least 2-hours per pound of meat, with a layer of BACON on top) with Smoker internal temperature around 180 to 200 degrees F with meat temperature slowly ramping up. At about 1.5 hours remaining and meat temperature around 150 degrees F, I increased the Smoker internal temperature to about 230 degrees F aiming to get the Brisket temperature up to 205 degrees F for the last 30-minutes to break down the Collagen. The result was WONDERFUL! Everyone who tried it LOVED it, even people who claim that they don’t like “Wild Meat”.

Amazing

The meat came quickly and is amazing!!! I did a small order to begin with to try everything and I absolutely love their bison. I will be ordering again.
