I started Processing my Own deer about 5 Years ago and what a difference it made in the taste and quality of meat we were getting , My Wife was basically a vegatarian when we met now she helps me process . we have a basic $80 electric meat grinder and a basic vacume sealer . It really made the difference in using approx 1 deer a season now with liberal doe permits were i live we will usually have 3-4 does and usually 1 buck . we had a total of 5 dear last year and are almost out of meat . We do grind in about a 1/4th pork tenderloin and it taste awesome and my 6 and 7 year old ask for it and they love the breakfast sousage. If you havent tried to Process your own deer I think you may be missing out.
