If the deer is a good size and everything then I will def want to have it mounted since it will be my first ever deer hunting.

$200! THat seems like alot of money to have a deer processed. Would make me think again on shooting just an old deer if I have to pay that much to have one single deer butchered.

I live in a townhouse with a small backyard so I really don't have the room to have a deer hanging and all that, and theres probably somthing in the home owners asso. that says somthing about that..LOL

I guess in my situation, all I can do is field dress it in the woods and then once its checked in, head to the butcher shop.
