Yes, you and @MTLabrador are correct. A small grinder makes a boring job, well longer and more boring. Mine is a small LEM (1/3 hp maybe?) and it is over a half day job to make 100 plus pounds of burger. I was on a tight budget when I bought it (it was around $200 as I recall) but I often wished I would have doubled my purchase price.Honestly I think if I'd just stop being such a cheap ass and ponied up for a $500 grinder, I'd make my money back in 2 seasons, and would do it all myself.

I also enjoy the entire process from the shot, to the freezer, to the smoker/grill. Doing all of this myself adds to my satisfaction with hunting.Good afternoon,
I was hoping to get a general sense of how many people are doing their own game processing.
I’m a relatively new hunter but am a chef by trade. I think I take it for granted that I can comfortably process game and create products at home with relative ease. I really enjoy the entire process, in fact, processing my animals is one of my favorite parts of the cycle.
How many others are doing everything on their own? How many are dropping it off somewhere? Pros and cons?
My own. I've been butchering deer since age 10. One time both my wife and I shot elk on the same hunt, and it felt like the never ending meat pile... otherwise I generally enjoy it.Good afternoon,
