New to processing your own meat? Start with these three steps.

  • See what it costs. Our deer processing cost calculator (coming soon) compares the gear you’d need with what a processor charges.
  • Pick the right grinder size. Match the grinder to how many deer you process each season.
  • Store it safely. Vacuum sealing and freezing done right keep a season’s meat good for months.

Then explore by topic: Processing, Storage, and Curing & Smoking.
