We just stared doing ours the last couple years, you can always bone out the deer and have a local shop grind it and make sausage etc. After 5 or 6 deer we're down to about30 minutes per animal with 2 guys, one cutting and one wrapping.

Ive done every one of the 30 or so Ive killed ,even when I lived in small apt. in NYC! Completly self taught. I find it more rewarding and even enjoyable. Get yourself two good knives, a saw and a 100$ grinder and you're good to go.

wow, didn't expect so many people to be doing it themselves. I am going to do some searches on the youtube, but one of the links that was attached is great, thank you.
I will also post a separate to ask what equipment i need to buy.

Do it myself. Its all part of the hunt. Im lucky though my cousin built a walk in deer cooler.

I used to do it years ago. When me or one of my friends got a deer we would all get together and butcher it. Now, I don't have a place to hang a deer, but I'm going to figure something out before next season.
The butcher I take my deer to charges $55 a deer.
