Venison Prosessing
 

How many here cut and grind there own veni. I'm just wondering if I'm old fashioned or what. I really do like bringing it from the field to table. Does any one else do there own?

I cut my own steaks and roasts and de bone the entire deer but we have always had a local butcher do our sausage and burger. He does a fantastic job and its nice to also help out a local business in our small town.

I do my own. I enjoy the process, and I know it is done the way i want.

I really like doing my own strip jerky.

The only thing that sucks right now is that I have no where to hang it if the weather does not cooperate. I am looking for an old frig to convert to a meat hanger, however.

We've always butchered our own deer. I believe it is as much a part of the hunt as the pre-season scouting. We've turned one of our many buildings here into a processing station equipped with an a/c unit, electric hoists, multiple gambrels, refrigerators, freezers, cutting boards, a grinder & packing tables. We've paid some $$$ over the years processing whitetails, but we've also made some $$$ from folks around the area too.

We also tan our own hides, though we haven't been doing this as long, we're getting pretty good at it & have some cool tools, equipment & knife sheaths to show for it.

ITs taken some years to get it the way we wanted it, but it's been fun & we as a family spend alot of quality time there together. It plays a major role in our deer camp.

On Point and I do it the same way. Cutting deer is a big part of my deer season. I cut deer for myself, most of my family, and a lot of friends also. I've had as many as nine deer hanging at one time. I enjoy it, and like to think that I do a good job.

I do all my own processing. I am very picky about my meat. I have seen some real butchers in my area.

It is also rewarding to harvest and process my animal like my grandfather always did.

I cut up my own, never paid a butcher!! Hell where I come from everyone is a butcher! My wife is not a big veni eater, so its me and the kids eating it up, first one goes to jerky every year and Im usually out by the end of the week!

I do it all but the sausage.

Sausage is simple as long as you dont mind eating it in patty form. I make brats in 30 pound batches, and put em on the grill.

always done mine. The past few years i started helpin my friend get into hunting and now he helps process the deer to
