Where to find game meat in Charlotte? (buy, shop)

[San Fran Babe]

Hey, I'm new to Charlotte and I was wondering if anyone knows of a deli or butcher shop that sells game meats such as venison (deer) or pheasant or quail? I check out a few and have so far had no luck. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

I tried to find a place last year, but everybody told me you can't buy it in NC due to health restrictions. If you are able to find somewhere, please post the name of the place. I want deer jerky!!!

I get all my venison from friends and family... you usually don't have to ask very far to find a neighbor or acquaintance with a hunting addiction.

I might be wrong, but I believe it is illegal to sell game in NC unless it was domestically raised. Hunters can't put their deer up for retail sale. With that said, I have seen domestic venison at Harris Teeter. You might also check the regional farmers market on Saturday mornings as there are vendors out there that sell exotic meat.
