Check out Frankfurt Doner Deer Processing in the middle of Ball Ground. In addition to a processor they are also an authentic German butcher shop with excellent cuts. They do full processing for $45.00, if quartered it is $35.00, and can do jerky, sausage, etc. Their address is 250 Gilmer Ferry Road, phone number is 770-367-9094. We get all of our meat there and they have done 2 deer for me so far, best in North Georgia.
For Jackson County I'd recommend Pattman's in Commerce.
One of the nicest guys I have ever met.
He has something set up to where he will organize donations for unwanted deer at no charge provided you gut them. If not, he will still take care of having them donated, just asks that you help out with a small $10 or $15 fee to field dress them.
Also, he usually leaves his cooler unlocked and all paperwork set up in the office so you can drop a deer off just about whenever you want to.
It's a small place behind his house but he does a great job.
