Any recommendations on Grinder whole beaver - 09/13/23 03:08 AM
Any one got recommendation for a grinder that can grind a whole small or half beaver carcass? Currently I subcontract or chop up in smaller pieces for heavy duty grinder from cabalas

Most of the ones I've seen that size were homemade. It would be nice to have one that you could just feed carcasses through though.

I saw Trapper J did a youtube video shredding muskrats using a small electric woodchipper. Ran carcasses through whole and then sent the results from the first run through a second time and it was good. I am considering quartering beaver with a hatchet and giving it a shot.

I've seen the homemade grinder that Down South Trappers uses for their bait, etc. You may can give Steve Phillips a call and ask him about their setup...

With all the mink ranchers that have went out of business, that's where I'd be looking.

Scott Phillips uses a car engine to turn his huge grinder.

Run the frozen carcasses thru your woodchipper
A lot easier handling frozen carcasses than sloppy half maggoty ones.

Thank you for suggestions to look into. Boco I have used a wood chipper, maybe a need a bigger one? Gets the job done but a mess.

John. Charlie Masheck has machine now that he can put a whole frozen beaver into and it shreds it. Then puts through his grinder. Give him a call and pick his brain about it.
