???? Where are you getting summer sausage from? There's almost zero grease in mine because it's deer meat which is super lean.

You dont mix pork in it hmm, ive always had pork mixed in mine and it just seemed a bit to greezy.
Some people recommend a ration of 2 pounds pork to 3 pounds venison for sausage making.

As far as I'm concerned, deer is just an inferior meat for sausage. It's awesome in other forms, but it lacks in this.

Deer is much better for you because of how lean it is.

leave the pork out....mine isn't greasy at all. Mine tends to be on the salty side if I'm not careful when mixing it due to the curing salt. When I get it mixed right it's pretty damn good.

I kinda agree with you....people are forcing it making sausage out of deer meat. It's just not that kinda meat. I'll tell ya though, a buddy of mine up north had a guy he would take his meat to and the guy would make him some different kinds of sausage. Some of that stuff he made was the best sausage I'd ever eaten period....pork included. He made some hungarian sausage that was awesome cooked on the grill. The guy died a year or two ago and his recipes went with him. Wish I had them because he definitely knew what he was doing.

yep...... I added beef suet to some of mine last year so that it would have a little fat content to it but this year my wife asked me not to add any because she likes it for the health reasons. It's waaay leaner than beef and I would almost bet you it's even better for you than chicken.

I also eat a lot of turkey sausage.

Honestly, that bigass buck I shot isn't gonna be eaten much as a meal. One hind quarter was turned into butterfly steaks, the other chunked into roast-sized pieces for jerky, the backstraps and tenderloins all cut into roast-sized pieces for jerky, and the front shoulders/whatever else were chunked up for peppersticks and canning.

That's fuel for the PETA fire right there. I don't understand that picture.

looks like maybe a processing plant where people take their deer to get butchered.

Phew... I thought Santa Claus might be lying somewhere at the end of the pile!

**0rion** · 12-21-2009, 01:44 PM

the only thing that's odd about the pic is that all the deer racks are pretty uniform which makes me wonder if it isn't a place that raises venison to butcher or something. I also don't see any type of tag on any of them.

all of that, and the fact that it looks like they're in a shipping port.

all have the same rope for dragging... Do they only sell one type of rope in AK? lol

**gd1996** · 12-21-2009, 03:19 PM

I got 3 deer and the last was 1 day before the season started here and it was a nice 8 point... of course they were all in my car. And that makes 7 for thr past year. So I can't see going out and sitting in the cold to get one... as many as I hit, you'd think I was trying.
