I was fortunate to have a grandfather and dad who butchered their own game. Watching and helping someone that knows what they are doing really makes a big difference. After the game is butchered I will then take some to be smoked or made into bologna and sticks. Doing it you not only saves money, but you also get YOUR meat. Some people don’t take care of their game. Some hunters drag deer through leaves and dirt or do not remove the cape to cool the meat down and the big one, recovering game two days after the kill in warm temperatures and still using the meat. If you help someone process game a few times it becomes second nature and actually a lot of fun.
