Glob of deer meat about to be made into some Salami. Those yellow pieces are the cheese.

Anyone else process their own deer?
 
Merry Christmas

Used to. This year I was far away from home, and I was warm. Usually they can hang, and be ok here. The day I shot, it was 68 degrees, and going to stay warm. Had to get it somewhere cool. Big walk in coolers aren't easy to come by here.

Yea heat and meat don't mix too good. Was almost 80 in San Antonio yesterday. We shot a few and had to slice and dice them.

we bought a grinder this fall and make hamburger, we buy enough rough ground beef to mix in with the venison to make it a 50-50 mixture and that works pretty well

I hope you are bringing some of your Jalapeño/Cheese Salami to work with you.  How much cheese and how many Japs do you use?

Could not close the distance on my whitetail either, so I extended the range a bit, and just shot anyway.

Always have, always will; much to the consternation of my wife who hates having the stuff all over her kitchen table.  In fact, she usually takes the kids, leaves the house, and goes to a movie or something just so that she doesn't have to see it.
 
No butchers are allowed near anything we kill.  They'd likely "butcher" the job.
 
 
What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

Do you do it all by your self? There's usually 3-4 of us and it takes literally all day. We usually have quite a few deer though.

 

What all do you make?

Cube steak & burger.  No sausage, the wife can't even eat the mild stuff.

We butcher all of our own and a few for relatives too.  Usually 15-25 per year.
This year we did 18 and as I think about it, gave 1 to the "share the harvest" in missouri.
16 came off of my Mom's farm.
The best thing is.... my wife is the real butcher.  She stays opening week and "the guys" quarter them and she does the rest. 
When I'm there on weekends, I will do more while it hangs (like remove back strap and cat fish and rib meat)  My wife then butchers the hind quaters.  She carves indivual roasts. 
Some of the "scrap" goes to our favorite summer sausage maker, some goes to another for our favorite italian sausage.
The rest gets ground.  We take to local butchar in big rubbermaid tubs and they dump in grinder and grind right back into the tub.  Best bargain going at $0.10/ lb.
Havent bought beef in years.

We dress and butcher ourselves. 
 
Hang for a day after gutting and skinning.  Then the strips, tenderlions, and quarters come inside for trimming.  We typically keep the strips, tendersloins, sirloin, shanks, and some "split leg" roasts.  The rest is ground for sausage: typically italian, summer, chiroizzo (sp?).
 
We have our own grinder, stuffer, and smoker.  We turn long bones, sholders, and some trimmings into stock or demi glace.  Did I mention that one of my brothers is a chef?
 
Yummy.
