Glad to hear someone else enjoys tracking as much as I do. I love it, its just another part of the hunt that makes everything worthwhile. I especially love tracking in the snow. Granted, its a bit easier, but seeing that bright red blood on fresh snow is great. I tracked my very first archerydeer when I was nine and I've been hooked ever since.

I actually like processing my own meat though. I can't see paying someone to do something that I can easily get done in a two night process. First night I cut all the meat off the deer and refrigerate it. The second night I'll go through it all and cut off all the fat and wash off whatever hair may have gotten onto the meat. Cut it all up, package, and freeze it.
