It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

The front end of an F-150?  Seems to be the most common deer grinder in these parts.

You're probably right.  I like garlic too much.

Light weight. I've tenderized 2 this year already with my 250 super duty.

My most effective grinder was a tractor trailer with a low deck land all type trailer ant 75mph. Dear goes in the front end comes out the back puree.

Virginia has very liberal deer hunting laws, especially on private land.  In some of the northern counties, you can hunt deer until late March (does only though).

i haven't done the research but a hunting nut i know said if you hunt all seasons and buy extra tags in theory you could kill close to 60 deer.  though i've seen 63 in one morning drive in wva coming down a draw at the bottom of a mountain and that was just 5 shooters.  it was all about production and a years meat for 6 big extended families.  thats where i learned how to really butcher

Speaking of dear. I'm overrun with them here at my house. They are making a mess and other problems.
Anyone have any good deer replant ideas for a yard.
I have neighbors so I can't just blast away, although I might start using 22 sub sonics to the head.
I need to check with the town to see if we have a no discharge ordinance, if we don't I might try some rubber buck shot like I used to use at my parents house on the bear.
Do dear have the memory power to associate pain with a certain place like the bear have and stay away? They seem dumber that the proverbial box of rocks to me.

How much money you got?

My friend has a 3/4 hp grinder and we put at least a dozen deer through it each year. Cabelas

If I was to buy one I'd probably get this one.

I have one of these and it works extremely well:  http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_36989_36989

I haven't used it for deer, but it just takes a few minutes to grind up a whole beef brisket.

I'd have to go look but I think I get 7 or 8 tags for being a MO landowner. Each tag after that is $7.00 for as many as you want all season.

I have a couple old hand crank models. I used to use them but about fifteen pounds was the most I wanted to do in a sitting. I was at one of my suppliers and saw a grinder kit for a Kitchenaid Mixer. I got it for my wife for Christmas that year. She has used it once but I have done a bunch of summer sausage 30 lbs at a time. I also have a big bandsaw with a grinder on the side. I've never used it.

If your trying to do it as fast as possible I would look at the big Cabelas or maybe a real commercial unit. If you are just going to work on it when you have time, I like the kitchenaid mixer attachment.

I have the Kitchenaid mixer attachement too.  I only grind it as I need it.  I find it keeps better in the freezer if I don't grind it until then.  Works great for a couple pounds at a time.  I'm not so sure it would be a great idea though to do a dozen deer's worth of burger all at once though.  A dedicated grinder would be much better and faster for a job like that.

We picked up a used Hobart (I think) professional model at an auction years ago.  Running forty pounds through twice takes about 20 minutes.  Cleanup takes another 20 minutes.
