Hard to pass up the easy economics. Plus without a cooler, processing deer yourself in October and November usually means doing it pronto. Kill a deer at dusk, get him checked in and back to the house for 4-5 hours of butchering makes for a long night (usually alone) when a guy has to be at work at 5am the next morning.
