Hand crank grinder to start. They can be had cheaply....
Other wise I pay a good butcher $40 plus $1 lb for anything made into sausage. Usually a $50-60 deal, cleaned, cut, seasoned and wrapped!
Hand crank grinders SUCK!
Iluv2hunt, you got that right!!! Thats why I put a motor on my #32 hand grinder with a pulley reduction to get it to run about 80 rpm's. Ain't the fanciest thing but it does work well and the investment is minimal. Treefarmer

No Shit, but most on this forum don't have any $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, therefore hand grinder is the only option.
a strong right hand will git er done, or better, pay the butcher. I think most would buy another gun before a good electric grinder and a cheap one won't last and you would be back to hand grinding anyway. if you have enough guns (like that ever happens), AND kill lot's of game then maybe electric. kinda like buying a good safe or spotting scope. been meaning to for 20+ years but keep buying guns instead.
Well what allot of game?
I usually do harvest about 8-10 animal's between deer and hogs every season.
I have the grind to do from 4 of my deer did the last one just so i have some burger. Only one hog so far but i plan of fixing that this week end.
I go out looking for hogs this year and only find deer. Now i making ham and bacon so i need more hog for sausage.
If you do off fishing and need chum a good electric grinder works great. I can feed in whole 12 inch mullet and it spits out goo witch i freeze for offshore fishing. You can make buckets full fast.
