I never had ciatica (SP?) before processing three deer about 25 years ago. When I lived in Texas, there was a great place in Katy that made sausage. I would turn the whole deer into links. I haven't messed with deer in about 20 years except to cook what someone gives me. I would probably quarter it and find a good processor. Might even pay you to do it CA.
