I butchered three deer this year and I'll be honest, that $50-$60 processing fee wasn't looking all that bad by the end.
Between setup/cleanup time and the actual butchering, Iwas often trying to decide between butchering and either hunting or sleeping. I think I'll go back to dropping off at the processor (after I take out the tenderloins).
My cousin and I did 3 one night. It sucked bad...we do them outside in the barn and my fingers were numb.
