I don't kill many deer but this year I've been lucky enough to get a buck and YES I butchered it myself. I watched a butchering tape a hundred times over the last few years so I was ready. Everything went smoothly and I had great satisfaction knowing that I did it all myself. I boned outeverything. I made steaks, stew chunks, ground meat and even jerky.
I always wanted to do it all from field dressing to freezer. It's easy, free, you get your own deer meat back, and the butcher doesn't get to steal any. It was actually a fun and rewarding thing to do. I hope I'll have the opportunity to do it again next year!
