Hey Yall
Wife and I are doing our own processing this year instead of paying $100-$150 per deer. The processor we use is great but we usually get 5-6 deer per year and we could use that money for hunting equipment and/or our own processing equipment.
Our plan is too buy a chest freezer and freeze the full deer after harvest and process it after it ages a few days. My questions are:
1. Has anyone used a chest freezer for aging?
2. Can I get 2 deer in a 7 cu ft. chest freezer (minus head and lower legs).
3. If not, what size do yall suggest?
Thanks for all info.
