I think every hunter should know how to process their own meat. I don’t know about the rest of you but putting meat I packaged myself in the freezer gives me just as much a sense of accomplishment as getting my hands on that deer in the woods. 

Agreed, doing my own had given me much more appreciation for hunting. I started doing it to save money and thaught I would shoot more deer because I wouldn't have the cost of the butcher. but after you start doing your own you quickly realize how much meat you will get by looking at a live deer infront of you and it made me much more selective. You also learn Aton about deer anatomy and the feeling knowing I 100 percent am eating my own deer and know I'm the only person to ever touch that deer from start to finish is awesome in my opinion.  Everyone should try to do it at least once 

 

 

Your cuts look great!!  taking the time to trim all the silver skin definitely makes the meat taste better

Excellent butchering - very clean cuts!

When the temps are good, I do my own. If it's earlier in the season I use Big Dogs.
