my grandfather was a butcher and taught me how to process deer, I find it enjoyable and another reason to get together with my hunting buddies for their "help".

To all of you who butcher your own deer I would HIGHLY recommend going out and spending about $100 (depending of how nice of one you get) on a vaccum sealer, beats the hell out of freezer bags and freezer paper and it resealable, I just added one to my butchering tool kit this year, dont know how I managed without one
