I've done my own: rabbits, squirrels, chickens, deer and fish. If I killed it,
I hafta clean it.  If I ain't gonna eat it, I ain't gonna kill it (exception -
a suffering family pet). Haven't done anything larger due to lack of facilities.

But you should have seen the faces of the women at work after I butchered a
dozen old stewing hens.  They asked, I described, universal "Yuck! *I* could
never do that!" But it doesn't bother them to go to the grocery store and buy
what's called chicken in plastic wrap.
