That was a huge elk deer!!
Glad the meat was not wasted.

My husband, son, and grandsons, enjoy hunting deer.
They've already been busy preparing their hunting lease area.
Do any of you make any deer sausage?
Got any good recipes for that? We always send ours off to be made
but would love to try making some myself.

My cousin and his son have spent the last 10 days in Canada hunting moose and bear. John (the son) is 12. He's already bagged his moose (and maybe 2, but we're not clear on that yet since the cell phone service from there is so poor.

One thing we do know is that the guide who took them out hunting the day that John got the moose was shocked! He said to Dean (the dad), "Wow! You should have told me that boy is an excellent hunter! I would have taken him to a spot where it would have been a whole lot more challenge for him." LOL!!

We don't know yet if he got a bear or not. But frankly, we were just talking about it an hour ago and we all hope he did NOT get a bear because nobody is really fond of bear meat. Moose is good. Bear - not so much.

This kid got his first deer at age 7, so he's been hunting with his dad and uncles for quite a while now. He loves it

I'm not sure why ILG can't see the pix Yes, it was a huge cow elk. The picture shows the two of them pulling on her front and back legs. That didn't work. It ended up that both of them had to each pull a front leg, and halfway get her in the pickup, and then swing around, and pull her back legs onto the truck. She was a real blessing to our family this past winter!

I have never made deer sausage either, and would be interested in hearing from anyone who has! From what I understand from times we have taken deer meat to the processor, they mix it with pork, but I don't know the ratio.

Wow, the kid must be quite a shot! How awesome to bag your first moose at 12! Moose meat is amazing. Maybe we'll get our act together next year, and put in for a moose tag, and see what happens. In our state, it is a once in a lifetime thing.
