I was raised killing our own hogs so the deer was just natural. I don't trust anyone to do it for me. I have everything I need to do the job and I know its done right.
I had processors do summer sausage before and got it back and had lead bird shot in it. Not joking. Another time I take it to a guy and he charged me a dollar a pound to make sure it was clean. It was the cleanest he ever had I would bet yet I had to pay. That ended it for me on the sausage. I can make it every bit as good as they can if not better.....and no lead shot or any ones elses deer.
