I just started processing my own deer last year, and I'm getting prettygood at it. I did four last year, and I've already done six this year. I started doing it to save money, and I've already paid for my processing equipment several times over.

I like the idea of de-boning the entire deer without cutting any bonesat all. You end up with smaller steaks that way, but it beats bitinginto a steak from a processor and having your teeth crunch into bone bits from a saw.[:@]
