Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection

Introducing the Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection

Built for the hunt. Perfected for the plate.

If you’ve ever spent long hours in the woods, you already know—bringing home wild game isn’t easy. It takes patience, skill, and respect for the process. And when it’s all said and done, that meat deserves more than a basic seasoning.

That’s exactly why we created the Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection.

From Field to Flavor

At Pop’s BBQ Pit, we believe the work you put in out there should carry all the way to the final bite. This collection was built specifically for hunters, processors, and backyard pitmasters who want to do their harvest justice.

Every blend in this lineup is designed to enhance—not overpower—the natural flavor of wild game. Whether you’re working with venison, making deer jerky, or experimenting with other cuts, these seasonings are crafted to bring out the best in every bite.

What Makes It Different?

There’s no shortage of seasonings out there—but most weren’t made with wild game in mind.

The Pop’s difference comes down to three things:

1. Built for Wild Game
Wild game has a unique flavor profile, and it deserves a seasoning that complements it—not masks it. Our blends are balanced to highlight the meat, not cover it up.

2. Flavor That Works Everywhere
From jerky to burgers to backstrap on the grill, this collection is versatile. You can use it in the kitchen, at deer camp, or on the smoker.

3. That Signature Pop’s Touch
We’re known for bold, balanced flavor—and this collection delivers. Expect a mix of smoky depth, savory backbone, and just the right kick of heat or sweetness depending on the blend.

Perfect for Jerky, Grilling, and More

Whether you’re slicing up a batch of jerky or cooking for a full camp after a long day, these seasonings are made to perform.

  • Jerky Makers: Consistent, crave-worthy flavor in every batch
  • Grill Masters: Clean, bold seasoning that stands up to heat
  • Hunters & Processors: A reliable go-to for every cut

No guesswork. No over-complicating it. Just solid flavor that works.

Built for the Ones Who Put in the Work

This collection isn’t just about seasoning—it’s about respect for the process.

You put in the time scouting.
You made the shot count.
You handled the meat the right way.

Now it’s time to finish it right.

Try It for Yourself

Once you taste the difference, you’ll understand why this isn’t just another seasoning—it’s a step up in how wild game should be prepared.

If you’re ready to take your harvest to the next level, the Pop’s Wild Game Seasoning Collection is ready for you.

World Deer Expo 2026

We’re Headed to the World Deer Expo

Birmingham, AL  ·  July 17–19, 2026  ·  BJCC

Pop’s BBQ Pit is officially Birmingham-bound this July and we couldn’t be more fired up about it. We’re packing up the truck, loading the cooler, and heading to Birmingham for the 2026 World Deer Expo, one of the biggest hunting and outdoor events in the country. If you live for the woods, the wild, and the table this one’s for you.For years, Pop has been dialing in flavors built for the way people around here actually eat. Not just brisket on a competition stage but venison back-strap after a cold morning sit. Wild hog sausage on a cast iron skillet at deer camp. Jerky made from a harvest you’re proud of, seasoned the right way. That’s the kind of cooking we built Pop’s around, and it’s exactly what we’re bringing to Birmingham.

“Good seasoning doesn’t cover up wild game — it honors it.”

The World Deer Expo draws tens of thousands of hunters, processors, and outdoor enthusiasts every year and this is our first time being part of it. We’re showing up with the products we’ve been perfecting right here in Eclectic, Alabama, and we can’t wait to put them in your hands.

What We’re Bringing to Birmingham

  • Hot Honey Jerky Seasoning
    Our most talked-about blend — balanced heat, real honey sweetness, and a finish that keeps you reaching for another piece. Built specifically for wild game jerky.
  • Signature Series Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce
    The perfect pairing for anything you pull off the smoker. Bold, layered, and Southern to the bone.
  • Hot Honey Rub
    Versatile enough for venison, pork, or chicken. A festival favorite and a camp kitchen staple.
  • Granny’s Classics Apple Butter, Pickles (Sweet and Dill), Pear Relish

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing recipes, tips, and behind-the-scenes content leading up to the Expo. Think venison jerky how-tos, pairing guides for wild game, and a look at how Pop’s flavors were developed right alongside the hunting season. Stay tuned.

If you’re planning to be at the World Deer Expo this July, come find us. Try the Hot Honey. Taste what small-batch, family-made seasoning actually tastes like when somebody put their name on it and meant it.

We’ll see you in Birmingham.

Pop’s BBQ Pit at Calico Fort Arts & Craft Show | April 11–12

We’re Heading to Calico Fort — Come Find Us April 11 & 12!

 

Big news from the Pop’s BBQ Pit family — we’re packing up the truck, loading the booth, and heading to the Calico Fort Arts & Craft Show i Fort Deposit, AL on April 11 & 12! If you’ve been wanting to taste our products before you buy, or you’ve been a longtime fan looking to stock up in person, this is your weekend.

We love getting out into the community and meeting the folks who make this brand mean something. Calico Fort is one of our favorite shows, and we can’t wait to be back.

 

What We’re Bringing

We’re loading up the full Pop’s BBQ Pit lineup — everything from our flagship sauces to Granny’s Classic favorites. Here’s a look at what you’ll find at our booth:

  • Signature Series BBQ Sauces — Our hand-crafted, small-batch sauces that started it all. Rich, bold, and built for the grill.
  • Pop’s Hot Honey Rub — The perfect balance of sweet heat. Festival-proven and founder-perfected. Great on everything from chicken wings to venison.
  • Seasonings & Rubs — Versatile blends crafted for backyard BBQ, wild game, and everything in between.
  • Granny’s Classic Collection — Old-fashioned goodness straight from Granny’s kitchen, including her famous Apple Butter. These go fast, so don’t sleep on it.

 

The Story Behind the Booth

Pop’s BBQ Pit isn’t just a product — it’s a family. Pop perfected these recipes over decades of backyard cooking, and Granny brought her legendary kitchen skills to the table with her jams, jellies, and preserves. Every jar, every bottle, every seasoning blend we sell carries a little piece of that story.

When you shop with us at a show like Calico Fort, you’re not buying off a shelf — you’re buying directly from the people who made it. You might just find Pop himself behind the booth, ready to talk BBQ, share a sample, and help you find the perfect flavor for whatever you’re cooking.

 

Tips for Visiting Our Booth

  • Ask for samples! We love letting the product speak for itself.
  • Come early for the best selection — Granny’s collection tends to sell out.
  • Bring a friend — bundle deals and gift sets make great gifts.
  • Tell us what you’re cooking — we love matching the right product to the right meal.
