My mom has a nice electric grinder she is not using anymore so next year I am going to make my own burger besides paying $1 to have it ground and fat added. My question is how much beef fat should I mix per pound of deer burger? I want to say my guy usually puts 3-5 pound per 20# of deer which is usually what I take him out of these little TN I kill.

The mature doe I killed last week all fit into a walmart sack and the meat to be ground weighed 17.5#. The young buck yesterday weighed gave me 19.85# to grind and all fit into one walmart sack. They might have went 100# each. Thats alot of burger, but we eat it in everything now.

Where is the best place to get some freezer bags to package it in?
