Bear Sausage?

[Sideofabarn]

I used to make sausages for a living when I worked in a butcher shop. I was just wondering if anyone makes bear sausage, because I was curious to include bunches of fresh rosemary and sage to the mix. One problem is I'm missing the main ingredient... Yogi. Got a rough deer, rosemary, and honey sausage recipe if anyone wants it.

Blacktail,
I'm surprised at the small amount of pork you use for sausage. Is this because there is enough fat in the bear to begin with, or is there another reason.

I am a bit of a purist when it comes to my sausages
The pork is only there to add the little bit of moisture that is need
You can by all means change the amounts as long as the overall amounts remain constant
You can also play with the amount of ingredients to taste as well

One thing that I do is to mix up my stuff and then make a very small meat patty and fry it up lightly. remember to eat it when it is still warm!!

That way you can judge what it is going to taste like after the mix is made into sausages and you can alter or add stuff to the mixture before you stuff it into the casings
