HI John! I actually know a guy who lives a few miles from my land where I hunt that offered just that, clean it for half the meat. He actually lives in an old school house, in a town in ohio that doesn't even have a light, a mile north of a highway that will take you to indiana in 15 minutes! The problem is, I don't want to give up half of the meat and the guy just quite frankly gives me the creeps. Last year I had a party out there and he saw it from the highway. I noticed as I was making my rounds he was talking to my wife a lot and around 3am tried to offer us a place to stay in a camper he had out in his yard.... I don't think I would have slept.
We've (by we I mean my wife) field dressed both of the deer within an hour. She's a veterinary technician so she did a better job than I would have. But due to the temperature we cut them both up into quarters that night, refrigerated the quarters for a couple of days and then broke them down further. In fact we made some ground sausage (about 40 1 pound packs) that is half deer and half pork shoulder. I have to say it's the perfect mix and just downright delicious. It's not all greasy like straight pork and it's not at all gamey.

Yea, trust your gut. It’s better to find someone who doesn’t want to wear your wife’s skin as a suit lol. Yea it was very warm this fall, must add urgency to meat processing matters.

It's bow season right now in ohio. I shot these deer with a compound crossbow and rage mechanical broadheads. Neither made it more than about 75 yards before they dropped.
I'd like to go somewhere that has the wild hogs. I heard the ones in Florida take out a lot of sugar cane...

I do bow, though I can only say I target practice since I never got anything haha. My cousin goes to a spot in PA for boar, comes back with a ton of meat, he invites us all to a big dinner at his house to get rid of most of it haha. The sugar cane boars probably taste amazing!
