Go rent from your local storage outfit (this saves alot of smoke content from your own shed/garage)an 8X10 with an electrical outlet, hang it on the hoof from a rafter source and start an auger feedwich i prefer mesquite chips.

Had my first deer processed many years ago. Cost me $120. Have done my own since. 40+ deer. Many processors weigh your deer and calculate out how much meat you receive. They shut down their process for other animals and run only venison. If you order burger they make a bunch of it and package. You may receive meat from someone elses deer that hung longer than yours or if you spent allot of time doing a good job gutting and cleaning you wasted your time cause someone else may have receivedyou're venison.

Thanks for the video. Looks like that will help out quite a bit. I have dial-up at home, but I'm at work and I have my thumb-drive. No problem.

I process my own deer, unless I donate one to Hunters for the Hungry, because they do it for free when you donate the whole deer. I see it as the last phase of the hunt and I give thanks to God while I do it.
