i do all my own, thats how I was taught when I first started hunting. PLus by doing it yourself you know how the meat was handled and cleaned prior to butchering.

We do it all ourselves except for the burger or sausage part of it. We cut and wrap our own steaks. We just get 3-4 people to come over for an evening and get it all done in about 4 hours. That way I know I'm getting MY meat back.

To me it's just as much fun as the hunt itself.All I have is a couple sharp knives,a 1 hp. grinder and a meat cuber.It's a very simple process to butcher game ,you can make it as easy or as complicated as you want to.I usually just cut up chops, steak out of the hams and the rest I make burger or sausage.And that way you can control all aspects of your animal from how long you hang it,to the size portions you want in each package and even the percent of fat you want in your burger.Besides having fun doing it you don't have to worry about getting the wrong animal back.Enjoy and good luck. :tup:

I've had butchers take some meat more than once.
Same here, had a friend who worked part-time at the local butcher's and she says that every day one of the workers would say "looks like steak tonight" and grab from any random box in the freezer. found a local semi-retired gentleman who does good work for less dough and doesn't help himself.
I do know how but with work, kids (school & sports), wife's honey-do list, where could I find the time?
