The beer is just to help the hand cramps. Did some rack of venison and some tomahawk chops with the lions. Cutting it up yourself is the most fun. That's two mule deer.
Only tools needed is some victorinox/forschner knives and a reciprocating saw. The best feeling is opening up a package of butcher paper and knowing exactly what you're getting. If you love to cook, you learn to love to butcher.
