    Always have, always will. Until I get too old then I'll ask my son do it.

    The only time we used a cutter/butcher was at Hunt Camp when we had 6-8 deer on the pole that needed quick processing and it was just to much to do ourselves. One of the local lads used to do it for us for $35 ea...money well spent.

    But individual hunt/kills, I have always done it myself, always considered it part of the hunt.

    Why would I want to eat someones gut-shot, left overnight out, mud-field dressed, 5 days sun hung deer and pay for it?
    Butchering (at least some basic cuts) is part of hunting just as much as marksmanship is in my books - and yes, both take effort

    Used a reputable shop for a few years then decided to do it myself. Not real quick or do fancy cuts but there ain't no fat, grisle, or knuckles in any pieces of the meat. Pretty fussy about what I am doing and prefer to do it myself. My kids say it's the OCD.

    Have done my own in the past but had ideal weather, do have the name of a local guy who has the chiller needed if weather doesn't cooperate, last thing |I'd want to do is spoil the meat.

    I only hunt birds, so yes. But it's no more difficult than cleaning fish.

    I assume "Games" means big games.
    We don't butcher deer and moose because one of our good friend is a butcher and does it for us, a lot easier. We drop them off and a couple of weeks later we pick up ground meat, sausage, jerky, steak, roast and so on.... If we had to buy, store and maintened the equipment and the pork, sausage case and so on, plus the time, needed to make all of that I'm not sure it would be any better or cheaper.
