my dad has always had a simple rule, you kill it, you clean it... literally ALL of the butchers around here won't take a deer thats not field dressed... most will take it with the hide still on... but they charge extra if you wanna keep the hide... no big deal i guess...

I'd agree on the field dressing part... but that's what i was raised with... i won't even help someone else clean a deer unless they are a newbie, then i'll only "supervise" the procedure... imho, like you, if you can't handle cleaning it, you shouldn't be out there hunting it...
