[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 185613, member: 816"] we still got the equipment to make our own and i make small batches of ground only from time to time. but, with so few friends and family shooting a deer each year, it becomes more hassle than its worth these days to actually process them like we used to. i can take a whole deer or two (or what's left of them after i make muscle jerky, keep a few roasts, keep the loins and backstraps and maybe grind a bit at home with the kitchenmaid) and our fowl in and have it made into 2, 3 or possibly 4 different things for about $4/pound processed. that's vacuum sealed, labeled, etc... my time and keeping my wife sane has a price on it. processing, smoking packaging is inevitably setting aside at least a whole day. add the cost of pork or beef, seasoning, bags, a good vacuum sealer, my time, keeping the wife happy and trying to find a time that works for friends and/or family to make it actually enjoyable and its a no brainer for me these days. i let someone else deal with it at this stage in my life.
