My favorite deer sausage recipe involves thyme, sage and pork fat back. He said it was ground, so that’s what I was thinking.

Yeah, we make sausage too, but when I read ground deer I think of hamburgers, spaghetti sauce, chili, meatloaf, or anything else you prepare with ground meat. I actually won our local chili cookoff last month with my elk chili and nobody knew it was elk until the awards were given.

If you are eating red meat in my house, there is about a 95% chance that it is whitetail, mule deer, elk or moose. Proper field prep, aging, and meticulous processing are the keys. The extra time and care are esstential.
