I used to cut meat in a supermarket, and had my own processing business for about 15 years. Naturally, I still process all the animals I shoot, and do a few for friends. I charge them $60 to skin, cut, & freeze wrap, if they take me with them to any of their special hunting spots, I'll do it for them free.

My wife & kids don't care much for deer meat, so I have to disguise it. I make a lot into ground meat, the rest becomes jerky, sausage, or keilbasi. I used to make hot dogs, dried venison, hams, scrapple, etc when I ran my business, but not worth the effort for home.
