The new sandwiches—packed with a thick-cut venison steak, crispy onions and a berry sauce inside a toasted roll—will be available in 17 Arby’s restaurants by the end of November, according to _USA Today._ Participating locations are in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia—chosen because of the states are near heavy deer-hunting areas, the newspaper reports. Carnivores can thank Arby’s “[It’s Meat Season](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok1DRGxKj%5Fw)” campaign for the new venison meal. \[[_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2016/10/25/arbys-takes-stab-venison-burgers-select-locations/92727506/)\] Arby's Venison Sandwiches May Be Coming to a Store Near You ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4545901/arbys-venison-sandwiches/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4545901/arbys-venison-sandwiches/"},"headline":"Arby's Puts Venison on the Menu in These 6 States","datePublished":"2016-10-26T12:47:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:01.290Z","description":"In celebration of the fast-food chain's “It’s Meat Season” campaign","url":"https://time.com/4545901/arbys-venison-sandwiches/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb7676bfd3ffc7b2e/6988ab9dcf40a841bec454fa/636129998383041149-image001.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb7676bfd3ffc7b2e/6988ab9dcf40a841bec454fa/636129998383041149-image001.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"636129998383041149-image001","caption":"","creditText":"Arby's","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4545901/arbys-venison-sandwiches/","name":"Arby's Puts Venison on the Menu in These 6 States"}}]}] ```
