Hoping to get out this evening. Going to attempt butchering myself this year, much to the wife's dismay, lol.

Yeah mine is not thrilled about it. I am waiting till a bit later in the season. Less time pressure/concern about getting it done fast. I can get the quarters in to my basement fridge and vacuum seal the back straps, but I'd also like to be able to go for the neck and rib meat without wasting that (grind it).
I think I know what I am doing well enough I could probably get it quartered and backstraps off in less than an hour (hell, might be faster). But again, first time, I don't want any time pressure. I'd rather do it when it is 50F (or colder) than 80F.
So maybe an October or November deer.
