I’m a primary public land hunter. I either guy where they fall if it’s a short drag to a road or do the gutless method if I have a good hike back to the truck. I like to process my own when I have time, if not there are a couple of good places local I can take the meat to.
But I agree probably 90% of the hunters I know in Alabama aren’t processing their own and many do take deer whole to the processor.
