One of my close friends opened up his own processing biz a few years ago. He charges an extra $20 to gut. It blows my mind that so many people are glad to pay that to have it done. My buddy is glad to take it as well.I'd gut deer all day long for $20 a pop. I've timed myself (knife and saw at the ready) and can do one in 3 minutes. $400 an hour wouldn't be bad pay
