re: Deer Processing

the issue with processors is that almost all of them rarely give you your deer back. I can't tell you the amount of people I know that shot a huge buck or small doe and got back steaks and roasts that clearly weren't from their animal. The main issue there is you simply don't know what kind of care the other person did in harvesting it. It could have been a gut shot deer that they took 3 days to drop off.

I have long suspected this, but never heard of any proof.

I like lagneauxs (beware the hot sausage!) but yea $50? keep dreaming. I think the doe I shot last season was near $300, but I got almost all sausage.
