processed my first deer from start to finish it took me aroun 5 hours with a couple of trips back and forth to watch the video. some parts did not look very good but over all it went really well with a few more tries i should be pretty good and no more trips to the processors.

Feels good doesn't it. I started just the same a few years ago, makes the hunt more complete even sacred I suppose.
Not knocking good butchers...
The meat tastes better and I know exactly how it was handled.
Don't worry about how it looks that part will fall in place after a few jobs.

Good butchering will come with practice and experience. I agree with Decatur that knowing how my venison is handled is a very big plus-that I can also let mine hang for a few days if the weather is right.
AND like big D said it is an important part of the sport and makes you appreciate your tablefare that much more.
