When you get a deer do you process it yourself or pay someone to do it?
When we get a big deer we usually take it to a deer cooler to have sausage made, but we can't afford to do that with every deer.
If we get a small deer we usually just process it ourselves. We save the backstrap for the crockpot, and a co-worker takes the ribs, but pretty much everything else we put in the freezer for bbq. The thing is DH loves bbq, but I don't. He's gotten 3 deer this year so the freezer is full. I'd really like to find a good grinder and make hamburger out of most of it, maybe saving one for bbq. Does anyone have a good recommendation? We had a cheap one we bought from Cabela's, but the thing was such a piece of junk it wasn't worth fooling with.
