The processor is a major operation, kinda like a "disassembly plant".
They bone everything out and vacuum seal. Had dozens done there, came out fine.

I've done my own, and used another processor too, with good results.

Think it was just this deer.

Way back I shot a buck w recurve, spined, Snuffer sticking dead center in vert. Asked to have that back.
Picked up deer, it wasn't there (receipt had it noted). Owner blew me chit like I was blind and I didn't go back for a decade.

Went back in 2015 and they fugged up, ground whole deer. 2019 I wasn't thrilled to go there, but deer were in buds truck and he likes that place.
Dunno if buck was stinky (he was pretty rank laying in the woods) or the processor fugged up.

I'll just go back to cutting my own.

Bought a diff place and garage is smaller, and full of the ol lady's crap. I'll call a dumpster a month before season and make room for butchering.
