I do my own butchering to. However, the 8 point I shot earlier in the year I gave to the lady that cleans our house every couple weeks. I went with her to a processor. He said he'd save the horns for us. It took them over 2 weeks to get the deer processed. They lost the horns and when the people got home and checked the contents of their package the backstraps were not in there. Exactly why I do my own.
