How many of you guys here butcher your own deer? Is there anyone who doesn't that would like to learn?
I have a buddy that deer hunted the first time this year, scored a really nice "basket ball" rack 8 pointer. Nice chocolate antlers. Don't see those too often. Anyway, he was in a 'yank' as we call it, and didn't want to spend the time learning to butcher this year. Totally understandable, this was all a last minute thing for him. However, I get a text a day or so later and the processing cost is $265!!
Now, I've never turned a deer into a processor, always thought it was 80-125 bucks. But $265.is awfully close to an 8lb jug of powder! That's how my mind works with 'funny money' purchasing. How much powder, molds, bullets, primers, lead, or old timey rifle could I buy if I didn't make XYZ purchase.
So for those of you who send it to a processor, would you like to learn? And those of you who butcher your own, do you want to pool our methods and tips?
If ya want I can write up the way I do it. And if you really want, I can add pics if I get another one later this week.
