Been trying hard but I can’t seem to hey game sausage how I like it.

1. How do I remove all gamey taste.? I do 50-50 well cleaned deer and store bought Boston butt and it is still gamey. Yea I know it’s game but when I went to a processor they made 60-40 deer to pork taste like store bought.

2. what plates ti use to keep the grind coarse. My grind is standard plates but still at the end winds up too fine. Is it by mixing or grinding?

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.

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.
