Venison, meet fast food.

Michigan is one of six states where Arby's will begin testing venison sandwiches by the end of the month, the company announced Tuesday.

Arby's venison sandwich features a thick-cut venison steak and crispy onions with a berry sauce on a toasted roll, according to the company.

"Hunters hunt the meats, and we have the meats, so it makes sense for us to connect with them and offer a sandwich that they can't get at any other restaurant chain," said Rob Lynch, Chief Marketing Officer and Brand President of Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc.

"We're a brand that's not afraid to take risks and while the Venison sandwich is probably the biggest stretch for us yet, it's incredibly delicious and we can't wait to get it in the hands of our guests. You won't leave a hunt empty-handed after stopping by Arby's."

The new sandwich will be offered for a limited time at 17 Arby's restaurants across the country. The locations were chosen in heavy deer hunting areas in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia.

The company sources free-range farmed deer that feed on fresh grass, according to a news release.

The sandwich will be available at these Michigan locations Nov. 12-14.
