A Poll: Who here processes their own game?

[saskgunowner101]

From pulling the trigger to the plate.

 

[kayaker1]

Yep,
It completes the process

 

[Formula77]

We process our own every year. From the start of the hunt, until it is in the freezer one complete hunt.

 

[oopswasthatyourdog?]

We do it all.
Shoot, clean, skin, cut, wrap and freeze.
Amazing how much more meat we end up with.
But I'm sure nothing went out the backdoor when we took things to a butcher.
All just a coincidence, I'm sure.
The deer and moose have just got meatier.

LOL been there! 120lb whitetail and the butcher gives me 33 lbs of meat????

I do my own now. It's not that hard once you do a couple. I enjoy the butchering as my Dad comes over to help me and we get to spend some quality time together.

 

[The Cold Lake Kid]

Had a similar occurance with a couple of moose.
That was the tipping point for us.
We make our butchering a "family" thing with the hunters and our wives helping in the cutting and wrapping etc.
Our wives have become good friends outside our hunting thing, thus my reference to "family".

 

[Big Jon]

Yup, do the whole works with family and/or friends. Couldn't imagine forking out the kind of cash places around here want to charge. And it's satisfying.

 

[grunt19]

doo all the work my self
