RE: Do you process your own deer?
 

I do about 1/2 of my deer .
I do all of the first ,if I have time and then take 1 to the bucher so it looks right when I give meat away to the needy and freinds.

Usually take a couple deer every year. Process all of the first one and most of the second one. I take about 40 pounds of meat in for summer sausage. I do the steaks, roasts, burger, and jerky...he does the sausage.

I'd rather not even mess with it anymore. It's worth paying the butcher the $60 to do it for me. Excellent cuts, and wraped and packed for me, can't beat that! I'll generally only keep a deer or two for myself and give the rest to anyone who wants it. There is ALWAYS someone that seems to be looking for venison. ;):D

I've always processed my own deer. It only takes a couple of hours and I find it kind of enjoyable. My father bought an industrial grade meat saw/grinder 2 years ago and it's made meat processing very easy. ;)

I drive an hour to butcher. I would do it myself, but it would never turn out to be a fraction as good as these people I take it to. The sausage and the jerky they make is incredible, I can't express in words how awesome it is.

I do all of my butchering myself. I agree with Shootem up870 you don't get your meat back! I also think you don't get all of your meat back either! I took deer to the butcher years ago and there is no way I got as much meat back from them compared to doing my own butchering!! Besides I enjoy butching all of my own!!
