Yea..........we have been doing our own deer for 4 or 5 years probably. I would NEVER pay to have someone butcher a deer for me anymore. We have a nice system and we bought a good grinder (HIGHLY recommended) so now it is just second nature.......when we are butchering it is a GOOD thing.......plus we plug in the radio and tell the same story 40 times and before you know it you're done.

My brother wanted to get a food saver this year........I thought it would be a waste because the Ziploc's cost us about $5/deer and we have never lost a piece of meat to freezer burn as long as I can remember. How much do the bags run you per deer do you think and what are some benefits of the saver??............the Ziploc's are SO easy and work great but maybe I am missing something.


Thanks.
