We had the good fortune of harvesting both deer and an immiture moose this year. We are wondering which species you would use for pepperoni/sausage? Any recomondations that make really good/spicey sausage?

Thanks

Of the two I'de choose the deer for sausage, especially if he was rutted up. The immi should be great through and through whatever you do with him. Mabey save the best cuts out of both for steaks and roasts and use the trimm from each for sausage. If your making any ground meat I'de take what you need out of the moose.

x2....the immy would be my choice for the 'prime cuts' - steaks, roast, etc.....use the deer for the pepperoni/sausage- BUT KEEP THE BACKSTRAPS FOR STEAKS 8)

take the choice cuts off both (roasts, steaks) and grind up the rest into sausage.

Probably depend on where you are.
I know that Taylor made meats in Grand Forks does some good sausage.

Sounds like you have good meat any way you look at it. Turn the trimmings into sausage if you must and even a hind leg of the deer if you need the extra quantity. Ennis Farms has searved me well for a lot of meat. Their pepperoni is second to none. 530 1810.

theres nothing wrong with mixing up the meat from both critters to make your sausages.

To me they both would taste good ,had some real dandy peperoni's made from Bruce from glenwood meats ,i have tried other places ,but Bruce has made the best so far ,and that includes sausages as well.

DO NOT make sausage out of an immature bull. That is the best meat going.

Use whatever meat you want. Moose, elk, deer it all works well (haven't made bear sausage yet) Why pay someone else? I used to use a hand grinder then picked up this cheap little electric job. A bit slow, but what's the hurry? It's enjoyable and doublely so if some buds are over (with beer) to help with the trimming. I trim away every last scrap of fat, sinew, membrane and silverskin off the meat before I begin. Add beef or pork fat as called for in the recipes and have fun :D Here's a little of the Mennonite style farmer sausage I made from my last moose (a spike bull :p)
