i killed my 11th deer this past weekend. ive skinned tons of OTHER peoples deer, but never my own. he was the first one i skinned of my own. only reason i did it was because the temps were boarderline. we were going to skin and quarter it and throw it in the fridge, but once the hide was off, he was cold and the weather got alot colder.

dad used to do it ALL himself. but got out of it before i started hunting. he loves his smoked meats and sausage and all that..says its easier to have it done than do it ourselves. just the way i was taught.

down the road i really see myself doing it all myself. but right now, dad wants his sausage and kilbasa! lol...
