This is why I don’t use processing places. Processors tell me they mix everybody’s deer meat and its better to just do it yourself.

Yep this is what I do. However more like 45 minutes for me. I have done an entire elk with 2 havalon blades. Really could have done it with one. That includes a full skin and cape. You guys who refuse to try havalon are missing out. The larger size havalon I do not like. The original is the way to go. Heck my taxidermist uses one for most tasks. Not many folks cutting on animals as much as him.

You like the original orange havalon or one of the newer models?
