Yup, find some good white oaks!!! The deer love them acorns!!!
Connecticut, at least the south east part, is loaded with deer, and as posted before the "archery only areas" are gold mines!!!! I moved out here from Minnesota a couple years back, so I have only explored a few of the areas, but deer sign and sightings has been high!! I don't know about butchers, because I have always done that myself!! It's actually pretty easy once you've done it a few times, but does take some time!! Deer meat tastes the best, and last the longest if it is 100% lean, so even if you do take it to a butcher, I would recommend getting it back unwrapped, and going through it again yourself with a filet knife and triming of any fat!!! Then wrap it yourself! I wrap mine in saran wrap first, (trying to get it air tight), then freezer paper!! It will last a couple years with this method!!

Good Luck!
