What’s a good source for summer sausage casings I’m gonna try that Personally, I've had good luck with a variety of sausage kits from a nearby Bass Pro. I've tried four different ones so far & the seasoning is pretty good & the casings come in the box. It's convenient & I've been pleased with the results. YMMV ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gkqHcgbB/24-HR-Sausage.jpg)

Wouldn't say we live on it, but eat a lot of it. We like it. Hamburg, tenderloin, backstrap, and usually keep out a neck roast or 2 depending how many I get. Keep the hearts also when I can, we like them too.

Nothing like a nice rare venison steak.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Been married 10 years, wife is finally starting to accept that venison does NOT need to "have all the color cooked out of it" as her Momma taught her. Her Dad orders steak medium well also, so I guess it is genetic..... Non-mooing is my only requirement for beef, venison I started cutting a little thicker to make sure I don't overcook.

I give most of the deer away, donating the majority of it to Hunters Helping The Hungry. I used to give it to our church to be served at the Wednesday evening fellowship dinners, but some of the members complained that the deer weren't being processed by a professional butcher shop, so now they pay full retail for whatever meat they serve at those dinners.

I regularly house sit for some friends who have a nice chicken coop & I would collect way too many organic eggs whenever they were out of town. So I would carton them up & bring them into the office to give away. But they would be different colors & sometimes have straw stuck to them. So my coworker told me her daughter saw them & said she "didn't want eggs from real chickens" anymore.  This made me laugh. I know what she meant in that she wanted the professionally processed, cleaned & sorted eggs from the grocery store. But my guess is that if she ever visited a commercial egg farm, she'd probably only want eggs from an converted playhouse in a backyard instead.

I was able to put 2 Kentucky whitetails in the freezer this year, a buck and a doe. After ice aging, I cut one of the deer into backstraps, tenderloins, hindquarter roasts, and ground the shoulders into burger. I always save the shanks whole, as they are my favorite cut. The other deer, I packaged the backstraps, tenderloins, and shanks and ground the rest. My family eats the heck out of ground meat in various ways: burgers, chili, meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, etc.
My wife was originally reluctant to eat game meat, as it was not something they did in her family. She gradually came around to first eating burger mixed with beef burger 50/50, then to 100% deer burger, to now pretty much eating any of it.
If ifs and buts were like candy and nuts, it would be Christmas every day.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I like venison with meticulous trimming and handling.
Rut venison sucks and it kills my motivation to kill mature bucks anywhere close to the rut anymore.
We eat 4-5 bucks a year. Roasts, streaks, and most importantly grind. I usually grind a whole buck or two and do 10-15% beef fat mix.
I figure we eat fish/game 5-6x a week. It might as well be good. Truth !!!! We're getting towards having enough ice !! Soon will have fresh Walleye & Crappie, too !

Looking good my man.....I need to take more pics like these and also learn more about butchery, different cuts and whatnot. I can't compete with what you got going there but here are a few... Wyoming antelope. Keeping things as clean as realistically possible. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EplkkKc.jpg) Small Montana whitetail buck. Wet aging in the fridge which isn't my first choice, but it works. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Jv8B8oR.jpg) My favorite way to eat trout and about the only way I can really stomach smaller trout.....fish tacos over a campfire in the backcountry. I've been known to pop a grouse on the trail for the same reason. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/sd9RWrt.jpg) I can't find pics, and it isn't glorious culinary but boiling pieces of moose or sheep tenderloin in a jetboil, then throwing it in with Mountain House at spike camp has a special charm.... You live life to it's fullest, Ted. Much respect !
Paul.
