Clean all the fat and silver skin off. I use cheap bacon ends instead of fat when I grind mine. I do 20%. You don’t really notice the bacon unless you make burgers. When in other things like chili or spaghetti, just a little flavor difference. For the good of course
I do this also with the bacon. It works great.
However, I will say that grinding burger is my LEAST favorite part of processing deer meat. It is just a pain in the ass all around. (I use an old manual grinder, so that may be why it is such a PITA).

Hand grinding sucks
Once we had a drive shaft hooked to a tractor to a reduction gear then to a #32 grinder, it was great till it ripped the shirt off my back, lol
Then we bought the meat section of an a and p that was closing, so now grinding is my favorite part
My buddy told me the story of hooking the grinder up, without the gear reduction. He said "we had meat all over the ceiling"
