i do my own also. my friends showed me how to do it the same year they taught me how to hunt. been doing every year and i still get the same salivating mouth with every cut and slice. lol! i feel that it's a part of the hunt. plus after hearing complaints from others that have their deer processed from bone bits affecting meat taste to not getting all the meat or the meat from your deer. i debone my deer and trim off 99% of the deer fat. some people are surprised at what a big difference that makes.
