Prices around here avg. $50 per deer ( boned out steaks, chops, roasts, and ground meat or stew meat) Although its not that high I still prefer to do it myself.

About 10 years ago a buddy helped me do a doe I shot with the muzzleloader. He did one side of the deer as it hung in the garage and he watched me do the other side and guided me along. It was a great help and I payed him with a $40 gift certificate from the liquor store.
Believe me it was money well spent! I have been doing my own since and actually enjoy it. I take my time and it usually takes around 1and 1/2 to 2 hrs to complete a deer. Thats skinning, separating muscle groups, slicing into steaks and chops, cutting stew meat and tying roasts.
I dont grind any at first but when I need ground meat I open a 2 lb. package of stew meat and run it through my grinder.

I believe that this process is an important part of the hunting experience and makes me more appreciative of the animal harvested. What I mean is that I know EXACTLY what I am eating.

Just my opinion though.
