Deer Processing

[RyanC26]

What do you normally have your deer made into, and what is a fair price?

Do it myself. Keep all the whole cuts I can and grind the rest. Some roasts will later be cut into steaks. Will later make sausage with the grind. Mostly jalapeño cheese summer sausage, plus some smoked sausage.

Don't get the "grind everything into sausage" crowd.

I need to kill bigger deer, always end up getting a LOT of grind, butterfly steaks from the straps and obviously tenders whole, and then all the whole muscle groups I intend to steak out end up too small while I'm cutting and I just toss them in the grind pile anyway. Not that I mind so much, love chili and sausage and all that but I'd also like a dadgum steak every now and then too.

Steaks, back straps butterfly cut, tender loins whole and the rest burger unless I'm getting sausage done which I still have a lot of. I usually pay around $100/160 vacuum sealed depending on weight of animals.

Do my own and make steaks and ground meat, sometimes sausage.

Do my own,
Back straps in 6 inch blocks
Tenders
Ham muscles separated for roasts or steaks or whatever I want to use them on. Shoulders Jerky and trim off for grind on the rest.

I vacuum pack everything leaving the silver skin on until I take it out of the freezer. It removes real easily while frozen with fish skinning pliers.

Usually kill several a year and wait for the grind most of the time until after season and combine all. Make some breakfase sausage, bacon burger and smoked sausage from the grind. depending on how much I have to grind, if not much just make a chili grind.

last one I got processed I think was around 120 or 130.

I do it all my self. I take the backstraps and the rounds and remove all the tendons then slice and tenderize into cutlets. I keep the hips and neck for roast and grind the rest into burger. No I dont mix any other meat with my ground deer. This is for WT. If something better tasting, nilgia, oryx, stag, sika, then I will just slice backstraps into steaks to grill.

Sklenarik's Smoked Meats In Miles,Tx does 'em all..Cheapest part of deer season imo.
