Been on the fence about buying a grinder for a few years. The only part of wild game processing I ever farmed out was the grinding portion for burger and sausage. Hate the idea of picking off every piece of hair and meticulously trimming each piece of meat only to find out we didn't get our meat back. Then when you enter the sausage stage you can control the type, amount, and freshness of the spices and experiment as you go. We already have a couple of deer in the freezer to grind and hopefully will get a couple more before the season ends in January. Last night finally took the plunge and ordered one of these:

It might be overkill for the 4-6 deer a year we hope to process with it. But we plan on buying some hog quarters on occasion for pork and grinding chicken and turkey meat as well when the opportunity presents its self.
