[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5723071, member: 11842"] Agreed on all points. You definitely get more meat than you will with using a processor and there is certainly something special about pulling meat out of the freezer that you know only your hands have touched. 30 pounds for an average sized doe is about what I get. We don't grind near as much as you do as I like whole roasts that we can either make into steaks or slow cook/roast. So my overall time might be less since I'm not doing as much grinding. My wife is always a huge help by clearing out fridge space for me to throw the quarters in there if it's an evening hunt, a warm night, and I need to get to sleep. Then I can finish those at a later time. Last week she did that and had already laid towels and paper bags on the garage floor where my gambrel is before I got home knowing I'd killed a doe. About an hour and a half after getting home I had all 4 quarters in the fridge along with a bowl for straps and tenderloins, and a bowl full of chunks of trim meat for stew. It's a very rewarding process and is part of what makes hunting so special to me. [/QUOTE]
