Thats a great point Eddie.... I always wondered about that at those butchering places. Processing 10, 20, 30 or more deer a day, who the heck is going to know! Besides the fact you save yourself 60-100 bux, and more then likely get yourself a lot more meat because you take the time to do it right. I personally have never butchered a deer myself, mainly for the reason I just didnt have the place to do it, now that I actually have a place to stay when I hunt other then a tent / camper I can butcher and pack up my meat myself. Luckily I have someone around the block that is going to show me how this year
