Thefishleclair 175 Report post Posted November 2, 2010 Cool, Its easiest if the deer is left whole, Some guys quarter them up before butchering. Quote Grumpas' Baits Check it out on FB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buck 120 32 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 No I managed to cut out the top round, Sirloin tip and backstraps for steaks and roasts. I messed up the sirloin so that was added to the sausage pile. I got all the meat off the ribs, etc did not wast much at all. Took me about a few hours but I took my time, had the tunes on in the garage and enjoyed the moment. I figured I would savour my first hunted deer. LOL Quote Not just a 3 month season but a 12 month obsession!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Canoehead 69 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 The way I see it is: why would I go to all the trouble to scout the deer, then finally see them, them finally get a shot at one, then track it, field dress it and drag it out of there... only to let a butcher finish the job for what is it, $150 I heard? It's enjoyable and as mentioned garage time with tunes and beer is fun! I roped a buddy into helping me this year and then he got his deer the next weekend and i helped him out. It gets easier every time and I know where it's been. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buck 120 32 Report post Posted November 20, 2010 Butcher is only $50 for deer but on your own is much better. Quote Not just a 3 month season but a 12 month obsession!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
