Have any of you guys ever used one? I bought one with 1000 one pound bags and two rolls of tape for $68 and wondered if there are worth the money. Thoughts, comments. h.h.

Yes, I have used them for two years, about 20-25 deer so far. I use the bags in conjunction with my vertical sausage stuffer to fill the bags. Sure beats stuffing meat by hand into a ziploc. I do think the red tape sticks a little better than the white, IMO.

hh. i hope to have that in "my" section of the kitchen soon !  i think it is a really good investment. things start to add up............. grinders, slicers (want one), freezer paper, jerky guns, jalepeneo roasters, marinade injectors, weight scale,etc.! camoham |

Like they say....it is surely cheaper to by beef! But then again, cheap meat sure isn't the reason we hunt now, is it?  You forgot to list the vaccum packer! |

camoham,
i bought mine from online from butcher-packer in Michigan but saw some at gander mountain the other day for 29.95. theirs came with the taper, roll of tape and fifty bags. i paid 19.95 for the taper, 2.30 a roll for tape (each roll does 3000 bags) and 1000 bags for 28.95. i also bought a #22 bag horn for my grinder from allied kenco. now i can grind my venison right into the bags and then seal them for around 0.06 cents a pound. i believe thats a lot cheaper than freezer paper.
i have a #22 grinder, a big cast iron meat saw, butcher shop grade cuber, dakota water stuffer for sausage and a smoker. i can cut and grind just about any cut of meat i want. the only piece of equipment i don't have and want is a slicer.
out of all my equipment i use the meat band saw the least but you sure can cut some nice sized steaks with it. h.h.
