How did you come up with this S---?
As others have pointed out on other threads, I think the idea of carrying a whole deer - not gutted - to the butcher is a southern thing. I don't get it. Its sort of strange in that is warmer in the south, and so you'd think they would be more worreid about spoilage, etc.

$70 for a regular cut & just paid $84 for breakfast sausage,got 30 1lbs packs,store bought would have been cheaper,reckon they want out of the business,never seen 1 with the guts left in it at the processor, i do know you can process 1 & not touch the guts but haven't tried it,i reckon lazy butts can be from up north as well as down here

The main processor I use will take a deer any way you want to carry it to him, skinned, gutted, in an ice chest, it don't matter. Where he eats us up is with the smoked baby link sausage, but they are good. If you don't want to mess with it at all just leave it for the hunter's for the hungry program, no charge. He processed almost 2,100 deer last year.
