Oh it's gonna taste so good. Fine reason for owning an ATV. You would have a heck of a time getting a Chevy Cavalier in there and getting that baby in the trunk.

 

mmm deer meat.

edit: what does it cost to have one professionally cut up by a butcher now?

 

"what does it cost to have one professionally cut up by a butcher now?"

Cost me about $300 for a full pig or half a cow in So. California. I'd imagine it's about the same for the deer.

In Md it runs around $75-$100 to have it done, more if you want processed into jerky, bologna, etc. My dad & I cut up our own, he sends a some meat out to get bologna and hot dogs made, but the rest we do.

 

I dress my deer out in the woods back at camp then take the cut, 2 hams/legs, 2 front quarters, back loins to the butcher where I get cube steaks processed, sausage made, hams made, etc. It's $1 per pound where I am in Florida, Tampa area.

 

Very nice deer. That was the reason I got my first ATV. I shot a nice buck way back in the woods with a Ruger Blackhawk revolver. I am disabled and rode my dirt bike to get there, but it was not worth a darned to haul a deer out. I found a friend with a Honda three wheeler to haul it out for me and we had to weigh the front end down to keep it on the ground. After I bought an ATV, I found all sorts of things to do with it around the farm and in the woods. I now use a Rhino mostly around the farms and a 700 Grizzly for hunting and fun.
