"I do all my own deer so I haven't thought much about it. One thing I do know is that a local shop has a refrigerated cooler that is available for people to hang theie deer in on weekends, after hours, etc. They get a lot of business that way. Many places aren't open on Sunday's and many hunters don't have a place to hang there own deer. Especially when it's warm. There cooler is actually a refrigerated box trailer. It is a large rail that spins, you tag your deer, hang it up and then come in the next business day to let them know how they want it processed. Convenience will get you a lot of business."

-I agree with convenience, but there are a couple things I would like to curtail while doing this. The first is the security of the Deer. I know that most hunters would never even think about touching someone's trophy, but I must account for the X-factor. The second is the fact that I am very meticulous when it comes to sanitation. In my experience, many hunters do not know how to or do not have the capability to properly dress and wash a deer for sanitary storage. I plan on having each deer go through a checklist in order to ensure that the quality of meat will not degrade and there will be no unnecessary loss due to improper or incomplete cleaning.
