RE: Do you process your own deer or take it to a processor/butcher?
Do it myself...I grew up on a farm, we killed 12-18 pigs a year, not only did we butcher but we made our own sausage, souse, cracklins, dandoodles, slab bacon and cured and smoked our own hams...
We also butchered 2-3 cows a year and put in the freezer...
I'd feel like an idiot taking a deer to someone else to butcher...
