Yep once the price got over 100$ to get one processed I too figured it was time to learn my dang self. Paid a few hundred on a grinder and good set of butcher knives and watched you tube for instruction. Doesn't take long to start saving money.


I will skin and quarter before heading home. place quarters in a cooler, pour ice over with drain hole open. Then butcher after unpacking. It takes me a couple hours per deer but I get better with each one lol
