I wonder what percentage of deer never go to a processor. I know we used to never take anything to one. We occasionally do now only to ave speciality items made, but do most ourselves. I wonder how many ppl still clean and store their meat at home without processing. I bet it’s nowhere near as many as it used to be. I know a lot of hunters who couldn’t process a deer if you showed them how step by step.
Almost everybody I know takes the deer they kill to a processor. I use to cut up my own deer but is so much easier and can get stuff I can't make at home so I now take them to the processor. I would guess that over 75% of all the deer killed In Alabama is taken to a processor. They are everywhere 4-5 In every county around here.
