    Acceptable quality grinder needed

    Several years ago my hunting buddy bought a smaller LEM grinder - https://www.lemproducts.com/product/8-575-watt-countertop-grinder/butcher-meat-grinders A few years ago he went and died on me, and I wound up with the grinder. It actually works pretty well. I'm not a deer hunter, but I run...

    Do you have sentimental hunting gear?

    I have two items. One is the boonie hat I brought back with me from Vietnam. The other is a Remington hunting knife that my FIL carried with him all through WW2.

    Butchering tips & Grinders?

    I do maybe a half dozen hogs each year using a fairly small LEM grinder that a buddy got from Academy several years ago. https://www.lemproducts.com/product/8-575-watt-countertop-grinder/butcher-meat-grinders Most folks here would say it's underpowered, and when my buddy brought it over I was...

    How much ammo do you carry hunting?

    Hog hunting, I'm never very far from my truck. I usually carry a 30 round magazine in my rifle, but I've got a box containing several more magazines in the vehicle. Sometimes, if I'm walking some distance from my truck (maybe a ¼ mile or so) I'll bring along an extra magazine on my person. It's...

    recipe forum

    I shot a couple of feral hogs last month. Last week I hauled some of the fattier meat I'd saved out of the freezer, ground it up and mixed it with some A C Legg #104 bratwurst seasoning. I've tried a few do-it-yourself bratwurst recipes from the internet but this was noticeably better.

    Dogs on our hunting property

    My in-laws were farmers & ranchers. Their land was a dozen or so miles out of town, and it seemed like people were always dumping dogs in their area. They adopted a lot of them, but sometimes there were just too many and they had to shoot way too many. It's sad, it's hard, but it's necessary.

    Best bullet for hog hunting

    I use a 300 Blackout loaded with Hornady 110 grain SP bullets. It's a varmint bullet, but at 300BLK velocities they expand nicely. The downside is that they're hard to find right now. The VMAX is an acceptable substitute. They also expand well but are a little more expensive.

    "Reusing" sausage and sausage casing?

    I'm a newbie to making Brats, but I've seen some recipes that called for grinding twice to produce a finer texture. I guess it all depends upon what you're trying to accomplish, and having not enjoyed the venison brats you had in Deutschland you'll have to decide for yourself.
