Yesterday I was talking to feller who's step daughter had shot a buck and had it processed. He told me it cost her $325![] In all fairness that included skinning, some sausage and it was all wrapped.[&:]

Now, I shot a buck on Saturday and skinned and processed it on Sunday. I cost me some time. I already had the knives, sharpener, game hoist, and vacuum packager.[:-] As a matter of fact, I shot and processed a doe that I shot with my bow a month ago.

One tip I'll give you....when skinning, use a single sheet of old news paper to grab and pull the hide. It gives you a better grip. Replace as necessary!
