RE: butcher your own deer???
there are some videos on how to and that would be a good start. What did you have in mind , just steaks and hamburg. thats what I do . I bone out the meat then let it set up in a freezer for awhile then use a slicer to slice steaks. I take the meat for hamburg to a butcher they grind it for me. I get some bacon added to it. Want to try something good try baconburgers. Its not that hard to do. If you mess up just eat your misteaks. you get to pick all the hair off , you get all of your meat, and you get your meat.
Go for it. good luck.
