Title: Did some homemade Venison sausage today
Post by: trophyelk6x6 on November 08, 2015, 05:17:58 PM: I killed my Arizona buck only 2 weeks ago but with the *censored*ty weekend rain I wasn't going crabbing so I spend the day doing venison sausage. So happy as I nailed it and both are awesome!
I Did two different recipes, a garlic potato sausage which turned our unbelievable, and an Italian hot sweet sausage. I did bulk as well as brats. Did a test cook before to make sure the recipes were right. Won’t ever have anyone do my stuff again outside of small pepperoni. The potato sausage recipe had 9 pounds of 50% vension and 50% pork butt/shoulder. Added 5 pounds of yellow potatos no skin and I ran thru the grinder as well as 2 full onions, tsp of pepper, 1.5 tsp of allspice and 2.5 tbsp salt. Then added half cup of chopped garlic from a jar. The hot sweet was Italian recipe that has a ton of stuff in it like red wine vinegar, pepper, garlic pwdr, basic, red peppers flakes, fennel seeds, brn sugar, oregano, thyme etc.

OHH MAN! You got that hunt, #1003? That was our #1 hunt I am pretty sure. I put in with 2 residents, 34A Oct was our #2 and we drew for that.. We are hoping to get the muley hunt next year as Family lives right up in 3C. It is not an easy to get hunt for out of staters, only 125 tags per year..

Congrats.

So did you grind up everything but backstrap/tenderloins?, looks like quote a bit of sausage!

I would hunt off FS 139. I think that area has the better bucks. We figured that out after I killed mine. We were camped out off Black Canyon rd. Only seen one big bull elk and I guess there's suppose to be some nice ones in there.
