They're being processed right now at Hershey's Farm Market should be ready by next weekend.  I'm getting Sweet Bologne/Italian Sweet Sausage/backstraps/steaks/and ground venison made.  Everyone who goes up either does their own deer or has it processed.  No wasting going on, just packing a freezer.

i dont even know what that means...i may be too much of a city slicker to be in this thread

You don't just shoot a deer in the face then sit down next to the carcass with a knife and fork and start eating it. The processing is taking the deer and turning it into those different kinds of meat

[DH]

so you throw a bloody dead deer in the pickup and head to the chophouse?

im serious - i dont have a farging clue how this all works.

[Tomahawk]

Yes...or you tie it down to the hood of the pickup

[Seabiscuit36]

Yep, you can do it yourself, but  i'd rather pay the money to have someone who knows what they're doing make me some processed meats rather than just steaks and roasts.  The part that weirds most people out is field dressing them(cutting open them and removing all of the organs).

How about you explain to him how before you throw it into your truck, you have to stick a knife into its just dead warm body, slice its under belly open and pull the piping hot guts/organs out out by hand so it doesn't spoil the meat! Now that's the fun part!

that or when a deer wont just die, you have to give it a columbian necktie, twice, then stab it thru the throat to the heart. 

Mussa, i was up near your favorite town Patton.  Patton is 15 minutes from camp.

I've had that deer bologna, not sweet but made with pepper cheese. You talk about good, give me a stick of that stuff with crackers and beer during a football game, yummy. I miss my boy hunting since he joined the Navy, he was good for two or three with his bow every year.

Oh nice, yeah I was wondering what part of PA you were talking about. Patton is a special little town    My fav woods is Potter Co. Way up close to NY border. Most remote parts in PA

this is true?

if so, i cant see how this can be enjoyable - regardless of how delicious your deer burgers are.

The one buck I shot I hit him in the sweet spot, he ran about 30 yards down the hill and flipped over dead. By the time I got to him he wasn't breathing. Thankfully. White tail I have never really found to be all that good, it's too gamey. My dad went to Colorado for a few years and hunted Elk. Now thats good eatin!
