I see zero reason to mix anything into my burger.

Plan on doing summer sausage this winter, probably breakfast sausage too.

Nothing wrong with personal choice. We usually mix up a batch of 50% venison with 50% pork butts for meatballs we use in Italian dishes. Pork adds a nice flavor. I make all our Italian and breakfast sausage out of pork butts. The 70% lean and 30% fat ratio are perfect for our tastes. Our burger is all venison plus 15% pork or beef


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
