How many of you do your own butchering? As much as I enjoy getting out in the woods and harvesting a deer for me the real satisfaction comes from finishing the job myself. A good friend, more like a brother to me than my blood relation, got me into deer hunting and taught me the ropes from field to freezer. Going to a job so you can buy groceries is one thing but actually putting meat on the table for my family is a source of pride I can't get over. The real fun for me happens back at the shop with a roll of butcher paper.
