Just finished cutting up a doe:
4lbs steaks (backstraps)
12lbs hamburger
7lbs jerky meat
seems like I may have lost about 20lbs of meat in there.

Got allot to learn but it was the first one done by myself and only helped one other person.
Left the silver meat in the burger and wondering if that is gonna be a mistake.

well it can make the wild taste be stronger if you left all of it attached

Congrats on getting it done but I've always been told to leave it out. But what do I know...LOL!! I always use the butcher. Getting to old to deal with that.

the silver skin will cook up & be gone,i cant grind it myself but haven't tried it almost frozen either,cutting all of the silverskin off will cost a lot of weight unless you have lots of time,i look at it as a trade off,rather loose a little meat & need to shoot another deer \:\) ,mike243

The first deer that I did myself was pitiful. After I finished and got cleaned up, I realized that most of the blood on me was my own. Had to use a half a box of bandaids, and I had deer hair in my mouth.

I've found that if I hand-tightened the collar that holds the grinder plate to the cutter (mine is a Kitchenaid; dont know what brand youhave or how it works) it would get gummed up. If I tightened it as tight as I could get with the wrench, I could grind 35 pounds of meat or more and not have to clean the plates at all.
