Thanks for the advice all.
I agree that doing it yourself is the most rewarding, no doubt about it. But until my kids get a little older and we can start going after larger elk (instead of the smaller deer), spending a bunch of cash on my own equipment just isn't in the cards right now.
I had meat ground into burger last year and wrapped for about $.60/lb, which I was more than happy to pay. They did a great job and I was very pleased with the service. I cut and wrapped my own steaks so total amount paid was only about $20, very reasonable. No way I'd pay hundreds!
I've got a jerky recipe passed down to me from my late grandfather that I've never before tried so maybe I'll just do burger, steaks, and jerky this year and call it good.
