RE: Processing, do it yourself or send it out?
DYI here, about 4 a year for the last9 years. SHAARRPPP knife is the key. You don't have to let them hang at all, or if its cold you can let them hang a few days, but I recomend skinning ASAP while the skin is still warm. If its cold, one of my neighbors lets it hang for about 3-4 weeks until there is a quarter inch black layer that gets cut off, gross i think
