In my opinion its definately worth learning to do yourself. I have been told that processing a deer is similar to lamb. I unfortunately do not have all of the equipement that I need, such as grinder and sausage stuffer. So I end up with steaks, jerky, roasts, etc. It isn't all that tough. Like most things it takes practice to get good at it. I'm still a little green and could do a better job, but I'm hoping that by next year I will be able to set up on site processing for friends. If you can't afford to purchase game processing vidoes, there are a few on youtube.
