I do. Was raised that way. Satisfying to fill your freezer with meat you killed and cut up. Especially during these crazy times! Keep the pantry and freezers full.

I always do. I get the best clean cut of lean meat that way, for less $.

It’s way too easy and rewarding to not.

We do ours. I used to take one in every now and then. Mainly on a Sunday evening hunt during bow when it's 80° and I had to work early the next morning.

But now I'm so much faster I just skin, quarter, and put on ice in a cooler. It can stay on ice quite a while tell I get time to package.

Edit to add . I grew up with single mom and had to learn everything on my own about hunting and field dressing from books, magazines, and rented VHS tapes. Add a lot of trial and error.

Always. I'm to picky to take it anywhere

Yep. Everything always have

Yes

Yes.

Have been for years.
Between me, my son, and grandkids we do a lot of deer. Last year 22. This year probably around 30.

yes and I would think most trappers that handle the animals we do would fall in the yes category.

Growing up my old man never butchered his own. So of course that's the way i started when out on my own. About 10 years ago i got fed up with paying and being disappointed with results. Got really particular how i wanted my deer so self taught myself to do it. Takes me a long time but i always get max yield and done exactly how i want it.

I do mine.

Deer I do, bear I bring in.

Yep...I do. Cube nearly every cut and vacuum seal in family-sized packages.

Cant afford processors.

Butcher and steak our own. Entering the jerky, sausage stage this year.

Do all our game, pigs, lambs, and poultry. Make our own sausage.

My boys and I do 3-5 deer every year.
Got to do a bear this year to. That was a little different but turned out good.
