I don't make my own sausage, but I'm not shy at all about what goes in the grinder for burger. I throw it in fat and all. My family has never complained.

I meticulously trim all fat of any wild game I make into burger/sausage. No way would I recommend adding wild game fat.

elk and deer fat are in no way a good idea in meat! it should always be trimmed it is nothing like adding beef or pork fat. This is what causes gamey tasting meat along with silver skin

Clearly, conventional wisdom is to trim as much fat as possible. I've done mostly that, but having tried leaving some fat in, I don't think it's as cut & dry as what many believe.
Interesting article on it here:

Alaskan deer have the nicest, whitest, thickest fat around in Oct. I used to always add it to my burger with no "wild" taste. After the rut, I'd trim it pretty good and use bacon when grinding burger.
