Grinder

I am in the search for a good grinder. Does anyone have any recommendations. I don't want a whimpy one. I want one that can handle a whole elk and not work to hard. Thanks

I love my cabelas 1/2 horse. I run 8+ whitetails throughout the year and 40-50 lbs of pork  during our sausage making weekends. It handles it all like a champ. It is very easy to clean and quiet enough to use while the wife watches whatever "housewives/dancing" show is on.

We have the LEM 3/4 horse grinder.  While it might be a bit overkill for seasonal grinding of game, the thing is a beast!  The foot pedal is definitely a worthwhile investment because it allows me to grind and stuff by myself.  I haven't been able to jam it up yet but will keep trying.  Looking forward to trying some new sausage recipes this fall.

I've had one of these babies for 6+ e years and I cant hardly stuff meat in fast enough to slow it down.  It's been bullet proof.

I also have a Cabelas 1/2 HP model. It has worked really well.  It is definitely a step up from the $120 model they sell now, but it was only $125 on a close out many years ago.

Good luck!  You will never regret doing it yourself.  That is one of the greatest rewards of hunting in my opinion.
