Robinson446 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 im looking for a meat grinder so i can cut up my own deer next year. Would like to start doing it myself so i dont need to pay 85$ for every deer i take to the butchers. I know how now but need some stuff to do it. Let me know what u have and ur prices. Im only 15 so i will have to start mowin lawns again soon for some money to buy one anyone got one forsale??? or some nice meat cutting knifes? i have some but not the ones to process the whole deer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single_shot Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 As far as blades,all you really need is a good butcher and a good fillet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I bought a DEXTER 6" Sani-Safe wide boning knife at Pagliuso's Meat Market in Ontario for $15 . He said that's what they use in their business . High carbon steel blade . Check with your local butcher . About 3 years ago I purchased a meat grinder at DICK's for $50 on sale at half price . I have put a few deer through it . Check Amazon.com for grinders http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_5_26?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=meat+grinders+for+home+use&sprefix=meat+grinders+for+home+use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter49 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 446, go to u tube & type in deer butchering there are a couple real good videos that show the tools needed & how to do it. It's not to hard just time consuming if done right but well worth it to do it your self. Cut all the fat & silver skin off for good taste.

FULLDRAWXX75 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 446, I will add to the already mentioned items, (go with an elec. grinder from Dick's, WalMart, etc) I would go with a boning knife over a "fillet" knife, two different blades (shape and structure) I am guessing you already have a descent knife for skinning, but would highly recommend buying a good quality meat saw at least 18-20 inch blade. I started out using a hand crank grinder and bought an elec. one @ 4 yrs ago at Dick's, wish I had just spend the $60.00, 20 yrs ago.

WNYBuckHunter Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I started doing my own this year, it wasnt bad. I have one of the Gander Mountain electric grinders, works great. I bought it on Black Friday a couple of years ago for $40 or something like that. I also picked up a set of knives at Gander, and they work great for me. All together, I have less than $100 into the equipment. I also use a vacuum sealer, which was a Christmas gift one year. Thats about all you need. If you want to make minute steaks, you can get a hand crank cuber for pretty cheap as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 My wife bought me a set of Outdoor Edge knives for Christmas . They are supposed to be fairly good . I had also bought a Wusthof Boning knife with leather sheath on EBAY for $17.50 plus $9.99 shipping . I had the winning bid . Saw some with some real high prices so I think I got a deal . The biggest problem I have with butchering my own is that I have arthritis in both hands . It is rather difficult to pull off the hide and grasp the "silver skin" to cut that off . But ..... I get it done . p.s. --- the air skinner doesn't work very well on a deer that has been field dressed ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img]...http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/pissed.gif[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDXX75 Just to clearify the "meat saw" statement.................I was referring to a hand saw, not an elec. band saw table top model. You could use a reg. rip/crosscut saw or a hack saw but I feel a good meat saw is money well spent. I use mine for 5-6 cut locations per deer and it makes quick work of the situation.

fasteddie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 This would be an inexpensive start .... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=790264&ecid=E113E&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=E113E&em_id=emcdonal@rochester.rr.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I bought one of those grinders alone at BassPro about 8 years ago for $80+ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bought a Waring grinder last year from Cabela's for $99 , has 3 different grinding grades , fine to course. Great for grinding chopped meat. Had to make a minor adjustment now it works much better. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Since the kid has a limited amount to spend , the hand grinder might be the answer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
132 eight pointer Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Don't forget to look at yard/garage sales.I bought about a dozen different commercial/kitchen knives one time for about $1.00 each.All were made in the U.S.A or Japan ,I use them every year to butcher deer. You might find a grinder too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
