Default RE: Do you process your own deer or take it to a processor/butcher?

my own, mainly because I have a custom killing and processing permitt since me and my father process cattle and hogs during the winter months. We processed for hunters for the hungry oneyear but we got way to many shotup deer to justify using. Some of the deer brought in had been left out and spoiled, as well as some looked as if they had been run over by trucks LOL. Alot of hunters like walking right up to a crippled deer and blowing the whole wad into the neck or shoulder and then wonder why they dont get much meat back. We only process deer into steaks, deer burger/sausage, and chops though. We do process for a few local hunters though, but Im not sure if we will this year or not. It only takes me 6mins to completely break down/skin/quarter a deer Helps growing up butchering animals since I was 5 LOL
