just an update, I had 25lbs of my deer made into landjager and pepperoni sticks by The Game Butcher up here in Custer. Got it all back pretty short order, and its good!  :tup:

I have about 30 more lbs of trim Im going to try to make into brats and breakfast sausage.

I just made Corned Venison out of a neck roast I had in the freezer from last year's deer.  Did a wet brine for 7 days, salt, brown sugar, pickling spices, garlic, pink salt #1 cure, and water.  Last night I pulled from the brine, rinse off the meat, and simmered on the stove in water for 5 hours til the meat fell off the bone.  tonight I'll be making Corned Venison and Hash for dinner.  got the idea from Steven Rinella when he did up some Elk on his breakfast special.
Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

Burger and roasts are my mainstay. We also cut steak but usually wind up chopping it up for tacos, stir fry, etc. 

I've made sausage before but it just seems more practical to buy sausage rather than buy pork shoulder, mix it with burger, then run it through the grinder again to stuff sausage.

I was fortunate to literally fill both freezers this year even after sharing with the usual suspects. I may use some burger and make ground jerky, which I prefer to whole muscle jerky  :twocents:

This is what usually happens with mine and my brother's deer (by part).

Backstraps & Tenderloin- Cooked as steaks either on the grill or cast iron
Shoulder meat - Cubed for stew or chili
Shanks - Cooked to make oso buco, or cooked in crock pot until tender (takes forever) shredded and mixed with bbq sauce
Rear Quarter & Neck - either ground for burger/taco meat, sausages or sliced for jerky

 A delicious bowl of tag soup, not enough tag there to make any sausage.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me
