I got into hunting last year mostly for economic reasons. Shot and processed my first deer last year. I just watched some youtube vids, asked a lot of questions, and gave it a shot (no pun intended). I really enjoy doing it. My wife and I have a nice little "assembly line" worked out. Maybe next year, I 'll pick up a grinder and learn how to make sausage.

Nothing against processors - I just can't justify the extra expense.
