One of our crew guys shot a small fawn and was dropping it off at the meat processors and told them to put the meat in a envelope and mail it to him
;-)
You have to use a processor?
Most of us choose too. This outfit does a good job and you can't Pay for the wrapping paper and time to do it yourself. Plus our deer our larger than the average southern deer dog.. ;-)
And why not support the small town butcher shop that takes care of you?
Whatever works for you.
I rather enjoy the entire process.
We learned to hate the process!
My dad used to be a butcher and we had a commercial saw and grinder and I didn't mind cutting our own beef, but the deer was a different story. We had big third generation deer that we cut deer for because they were friends. These guys would pop illegal does and stopped coming to help process deer so we stopped doing it. My dad getting alzheimers really changed how we did things and it was nice to enjoy the time left with dad and not stress about cutting deer. Eventually I'll cut my deer again when I gear up and the cost gets too much.
