RE: Making deer steaks..anyone else do it?
I bought a band saw this year for that reason. I take the hinds and freeze them for a while then run them through the saw, I cut mine about 3/4" thick. wrap them up and freeze them. If I want meat for any other reason I just cut the staeks up into cubes for other purposes like carne guisada or stir fry or what ever. I do the front quarters as well, sliced shoulder steaks. I can use them later if I want to do something else, I can grind them or what ever but If I want a steaks there ready for that too. I do my hogs the same way.
