quote Woods Walker: "I always have & always will process my big game animals myself... make our own hamburger, jerky & steaks. Swapping meat is more common than most people realize. So is skimming. Processing plant employees always have a supply of venison without ever stepping into the woods. |

The scraps that can't be used for anything else get put into a bag and taken to the butcher for processing into brats, summer sausage and hot sticks. Not much left of the deer when we get done with it. The way it should be. |

We cut it up ourselves and make deer sausage, jerky, beer sticks and so on. Haven't been bird hunting since the kids were born so no fowl in the freezer. |

Mix, stuff, and smoke. In a week we will make another batch of sausage. Yummy. |

last year we didnt shoot enough waterfowl to do it, but two years ago we had enough for several roasts and smoked duck and goose, but also to have it ground up and made it a sausage!! good stuff! |

I can't remember the last time I used a locker for my wild game. |

Still have a few ducks, pheasants and geese in the freezer too. |

Although it’s getting expensive, it goes to a processor. Haven’t done the task nor has anyone I know asked for help in the past 15 years. Big game is a lot of work. |

Of course I also take care of all the turkey, phesant, grouse & etc. I have taken. I have never dropped an entire deer off to get processed, but have dropped off meat for sausage.... but only to a processor that gives me my own meat back. I take care of my game from the start, because I plan on eating it & I have seen how some others have "taken" care of their animals. |
