We do most of our deer ourselves now, and only send a few pounds away to be processed. However we butcher it down and wrap it ourselves the day after it is killed.

The first deer I ever shot me and my dad tracked her and found her about an hour after dark. My dad then handed me a knife and said get to work. He stood over my shoulder as I started cutting through telling me what was what and where to go next.. It was that night I learned just how bad a deers stomach smells when punctured by a knife.[:'(]
