i took mine to a shop that charged about 100$ after everything was done. then after i founda twist tie in my suasage i stop going there and did it myself for about 5 years. last year i had to take mine somewhere because i didnt have the time to do it. i found a guy that does it for 40$ no matter what i want its just 40$ he even does european mounts at no extra charge! cant beat that. OH! and the meat was amazing and everything was clean, no hair, no twist ties lol, no bone fragments, just great meat! and the best part, it was my deer, not someone elses! i imagine i will take it to this guy for a while!
