Looking for a Meat Grinder...
Hey All,
After a trying summer I bought my wife a new bow so she can hunt with me. In doing so I all but cleaned out my hunting account. I've been unsuccessfully trying to find a used meat grinder. To start butchering my own deer, obviously.lol.... Ideally I would like to have an electric grinder, but not afraid of using a manual grinder this year if that is what it will take to get me going. If anyone has a meat grinder they are no longer using I would be very interested in making a deal.
Thanks,
R

Great little grinder for $60 and will easily do any grinding involved in processing your own deer.

They also sell deer processing videos if you are interested.

RE: Looking for a Meat Grinder...
I bought the hand crank one at walmart for $20.00. I tossed the hand crank in the trashand threadeda bolt in place of it and use my power drill w/ a socket to crank it. I bought it 2 years ago and have butchered 3 deer with it so far. Still works great and I saved alot of $. Even if I replaced it every year I think I'd make out pretty well. But like I said, I'm on year 3 right now and it's still going strong.
If you already have a power drill it will only cost you $20 plus the cost of the bolt (unless you already have that too).

No, I feed the hopper with one hand and drill w/ the other. That way I can control the speed. The hopper is small, but if you only butcher one deer at a time, how fast do you need to go?
Like I said, it's worked out great for me. When this one stops working, I'll get another $20 one and do the same thing.

Get the WIFE a KitchenAid Stand-Mixer, and pick yourself up a meat grinder attachment, that's what I use, and it does a GREAT job. But for the $20 and the option above, that sounds pretty decent as well.

In case you missed it in the other thread. I bought a $70-85 electric one from last year and have done 3 deer so far and have no complaints! Works flawlessly and eats up the meat as fast as I can feed it!!
I bought it at Wal-Mart!!
