i do my own, i taught myself how to do it, on my buddys first deer, then ive done it on all of mine, not once have i been to a butcher, im a meat hunter, and i like the fact that i have a smaller grocery bill when the freezer is full, and when you do it ur self you can put what you want where you want it, say this is for steaks this is for grinder, this is for stew and so on, but you get to do it UR WAY
