I’ve processed a few deer with friends, but I am doing my first one 100% solo right now. For those that do this, how long would you estimate it takes you? The start point is a quartered out buck with back straps and tenderloins removed, and the end point is it fully packaged in the freezer.
I will share that it is probably going to take me every bit of 8 hours spread over 3-4 days. It feels like that’s too long, but I’m doing it all by myself, I’m trying to remove cuts properly without hacking things up too badly, and I’m probably too picky when it comes to removing fat and silver skin.
Curious to hear from others to know if I am way off the mark here or if this is relatively normal. Keep in mind I don’t have a ton of experience!
