A little Hunter Sausage

[OU812]

All the good stuff ready. Why so many dishes? So I can make sure I didnt forget any thing, now mix all that stuff with 8 oz water and set aside.

Got one pound of home grown bacon ends N pieces still partally frozen

Along with 2 lb pork butt and 2 lb deer, coarse ground

Medium grind the bacon

And mix all them protines together

Add all the good stuff

Mix till all good and sticky

My stuffer was down so I had to barrow one,,,,,,aint it quite?

Here we go!

All stuffed,,,,ready to fire up the smoker

What was left after the casings were full got rolled up in a frog mat

And into the smoker

Along with the sausage

After 1 hr dry time with the smoker set at 110 we bump the temp up to 120 and start the smoke.   I used 3 hr of Pecan and bump the temp up 10 deg every hr till we get to 170 and hold it there till the IT of the sausage hits 152. Then pull out and we got this, the frog mat rolled up chub ready to be wrapped up in plastic

And the stars of the show

No ice bath for these guys,,,,I want them to cool slowly and dry a bit. After cooled to room temp they went in the fridge for 48 hr and Whalla!

All packaged up for the land owner I harvested the deer form

The little chub was mine  ;D

Nothing guarantees a place to hunt next year more than a little thank you gift to the farmer. Looks good too

I'm sure the landowner will be really happy with those - they look great! What a way to thank them for allowing you to hunt on their land. We're lucky here that one of the people we hunt with owns the land, so we all just bring the beer for the week and he calls it even.

I'm sure he'd be even more thrilled with sausages like those! You're giving me some good ideas!

Thanks for taking the time to show off the results!
