I saw that one after you suggested a Hobart. That sucker is huge! I am looking for something smaller, and cheaper. I have been reading the reviews on LEM grinders and they sound decent for what I do. Thanks for looking for me though.

And a darn nice one too! That's great!
That’s a hoss! Congrats to your father. Pops still teaching you a thing or two, it looks like. We should all be so lucky. That’s a memory that should last a lifetime for the both of you. Hopefully I can get my father on a buck half that nice this year.Dad at 86 harvested a 9 point in Westminster. 170# dressed.

Undecided on a great many things
Mayor, this Steve?
Yes first buck and from a turkey chair in the open. He tried sneaking by to her right and she had to twist around to drop him and the Grendel damn sure did that.
On the grinder, I use an LEM 12 Big Bite. 8 would be fine but I do everything and wanted the mixer and you need an 12, 22 or 32 to use the mixer. I bought the thing two years ago for $360 and they ate $530 now.
Seems I am going to need that mixer a lot coming up. My daughter took her buck to the processor to have it capped, because I only bury heads in the compost pile or the ground. The meat came home last night and had to be 30# at least of ground.

Sweet! It's always nice to get the one on camera.
Got in the stand super late between my boss holding me up with stuff and then having to help my oldest finish some college homework (he’s taking college astronomy while in 8th grade and doing really well).
Anyway, I wasn’t sitting in the damned stand till quarter till 4. Saw my local vixen 20 minutes later cruising by. Heard a bit up by my coop and about 15 minutes past sunset a couple of deer came over the hill and started down the trail. They stopped about half way down and stared at me a bit. Not sure it was really me they were looking at as they sure weren’t spooked. Then a deer across the creek went charging through the woods and scared the two doe on the path off and away they went.
20 minutes later as I was about to pack it as legal light had passed I started hearing rustling across the creek. So I stuck around to listen and try to spot the deer with my binocs as it was too dark to see Them without binocs that far away (40 or 50yds).
I think it was the deer that had gone charging through the woods. I spotted it after a few minutes and watched it hookup with a deer coming the other way. After about 10 minutes they crossed the creek over towards me. Then they hooked up with the two does on my side they’d scared down creek out of sight who had been slowly creeping back. And at least another deer from across creek. They were foraging around for the corn from my feeder for a solid 30 minutes in the dark while I sat there listening to them glad I’d bundled up even though it was on the mild side when I’d gone out late this afternoon.
They were foraging from the feeder at the edge of the path about 20yds away to about 5 feet from
The bottom of my ladder stand. I could just barely make out the closest ones with my eyes occasionally right under me and the ones by the feeder with my binocs.
Eventually they gave up finding any more forage and went up the path to my side yard and further on in to the neighborhood.
Honestly really cool. Pretty sure none was that big buck I’ve been hunting. So not a whole lot of “dang it, if ya’ll had just been 15 minutes sooner coming in!”
That said, if I strike out on the buck or out at Greenridge, then by late gun season I’ll try to pick off one of those does.
But from a quick glance through my game camera, those might be some of the first deer to hit up the feeder since I finally got one and hung it this past Friday. I suspect that means they’ll be back and help pull more deer in now. I am hoping that big buck is finishing resting up and will be on the prowl soon for some doe in heat late or coming in to heat a second time.
