My wife made four rolls of summer sausage last night with a similar recipe we use. I'll get her to try this one also. Thanks.

We ate Elk burgers last night after we vacuum sealed all of it, and I can see why people like Elk burger. It was very good, and count me in on those that love elk now.

Today, we are doing the other hind quarter, backstraps for steaks, etc, and the shoulders are for jerky. I am really glad I went on this hunt, at 57 years of age, it was a thrilling, and tough hunt. I am glad I had to earn it, makes you feel all the better when it is over. I know this, I've been pretty worn out in the past getting a big mule deer out of tough country, but stocking this elk and getting her out used up all nine lives of mine, if I were a cat....LOL.
