It's not all sitting in the stand you know. I'm a complete hunter. That means I take my deer, clean it & process it myself. That way, I get "MY" meat, and I get it done right, the same day. A meat locker will weigh your deer & figure you get "x" amount of meat from it. That means you may or you may not get the deer you brought in. You'll also wait 30 to 90 days for that meat. That's just not my style.
