In IL it's $200 processing fee and $2 per lbs of burger. Me and my pals have LEM equipment enroute. 4 deer will break even on the savings by self processing.Here in California, they charge 135.00 per animal, be it a 90lb blacktail or 200lb mule deer, or $1.20cents a lb to grind and wrap, on boned and trimmed venison, those prices motivated me to use my Cabela's points to buy a grinder,
