How many of us cut up our own deer?
I've always cut up my own deer.
End up with very little waste.
Not a big fan of grinding a prime eater into sausage.

What do you do with your deer if you don't make sausage?
i do some stew..... even toss it on the bbq... its amazeing...
cut my own. Lets you keep exactly what you want for what ever you want. Even grind our own burger. Hell of a lot cheaper that way
I cut up my deer too, only done it a few times but its wayyy cheaper then gettin some butcher to do it. And at leaast you know what your getting.
I cut my own because I enjoy doing it. I consider it part of the hunting experience. If I want sausage or pepperoni made I bring some trimmings in to the butcher. I cut up my own steaks, sometimes I bottle some meat up or ground the trimmings into burger.

We do all our own butchering . SWAMPER is excellent at the cutting , I will grind the burger and do the wrapping.
Put deer into steaks , roasts, chops, and burger. WillyQ is learning as well on the cutting.
The missus doesn't like me playing with sharp objects so I will stay with the grinding and wrapping. Mike

I cut all my deer. I agree with Marc, it's part of the whole experiance. I like to be able to cut steaks to a certain thickness and be quite picky about silverskin and bit of this or that. Deer work well for the home shop. I cut my Leh cow elk this year but it took 11 hours total. With our leh shared moose hunt we took both bull's to the butcher. Just too much to bite off..........
I love MEC and the Gun Registry!
i enjoy cutting, deer i usually do myself, moose/elk get to go to a butcher most of the time.
I cut my own as well
I could never see paying someone per pound for the bones as well
I have even made my own sausages as well as jerky
This way I know exactly what I am getting and as Marc said it is all part of the experience
