For a fee of $30.....I have mine done. I quarter mine and place a bag of ice in a cooler. Put the meat on top of the one bag of ice.....and place another bag of ice on the meat. Let sit for 5 days or so.....then take to the processor.

My processor also donates his services for the family I donate venison to.......so the first three deer I take in '07 will be handled in this fashion.

I did it myself on my first deer, ever, last year.....and it took 3 hours with help that knew what he was doing. For the price I pay.....I won't ever do it myself, again.
