re: Deer sausage question

Anything gamey is coming in before you are making sausage. I haven't had a single gamey tasting deer (only been hunting 13 years and only killed and cleaned 13), I quarter and let it sit cold for days to dry out before butchering. We still clean the silver/white stuff off the meat wherever possible, though for things we designate to be sausage you just can't get it all. So it's likely the sitting before processing. Also could be what your deer eat, maybe it's different for corn fed vs. other things.

No I’m doing all that. Clean kills, good gutting, have let it hang 1-2 days at 38-43 degrees until it gets that brown patina, take ALL silver skin off and blood if any and fat and sinew. I know Iam cleaning the deer better than any processor I’ve used.

Could be environmental then. I actually had somewhat of an allergic reaction to one of the deer I shot. It acted like an alpha-gal red meat allergy, but it was only with that deer meat. Maybe sometimes they just get into junk to eat. Or overload themselves with the horny hormones.

Any chance you’re missing glands in the hind quarters?
What seasonings are you using?
Is the sausage super dry?

I’m using 60-40 deer to pork butt. When I eat the deer by itself it isn’t gamey or livery. Seems like it get that way with the grind. And Iam meticulous about cleanlines and keeping the meat cold. Could I be mixing it too much? It seems to nit stay coarse when I mix it with the pork and then again with the spice and water.

You should mix the sausage until it is tacky to your finger and after it is cooked it should become more coarse as moisture leaves from cooking.

I have read a lot how important it is to field dress a deer soon after you shoot it. I always have a pair of disposable field dressing gloves with me when I am hunting. Get the guts out asap and prop the cavity open with a stick so it can cool down fast.
