Deer hunting season is on the way, but fans of venison might not have to trek out into the woods this year to get their fix.

The Atlanta-based chain says its sandwich will include thick-cut venison steak and crispy onions on a toasted roll with juniper berry steak sauce.

Arby's announced on Wednesday that it will sell venison sandwiches this fall for a few days at select restaurants from Oct. 31 to Nov. 28 in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia
