Humphrey's processes deer for hunters at no charge - so long as the
client lets them keep 1/3 of the meat for donation to local breadlines
and soup kitchens. It's a pretty neat win-win-win deal.

Well, yeah. I'm an omnivore. Some crumbled Italian sausage would go
nicely in that recipe, as well.

      Title: Italian Sausage (Mild or Hot)
 Categories: Pork, Herbs, Chilies
      Yield: 3 Pounds
 
      3 lb Ground pork
      3 tb Red wine vinegar
      1 tb (ea) salt & fresh cracked
           - black pepper
  1 1/4 tb Dried parsley
      1 tb Garlic powder;(not granules)
      1 tb Onion powder; (not granules)
      1 tb Dried basil; crushed
      2 ts Sweet paprika
      2 ts Red pepper flakes; to taste
           - (opt)
    3/4 ts Ground fennel seed
    1/4 ts Brown sugar
    1/4 ts Dried oregano; crushed
    1/4 ts Dried thyme; crushed
 
  Place the pork and red wine vinegar in a mixing bowl.
  Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic powder,
  onion powder, basil, paprika, red pepper flakes (if doing
  hot sausage), fennel seed, brown sugar, oregano, and
  thyme. Knead until flecks of spice are evenly distributed
  through the sausage.
  
  Divide the sausage into thirds, and form into 3 logs;
  wrap each in plastic wrap. Place wrapped sausage into a
  freezer bag before freezing, or store in refrigerator
  for at least 12 hours (24 hours is better - UDD) before
  cooking.
  
  UDD NOTE: Can also be stuffed into casings to make 16
  or so nice links. I prefer it as bulk sausage unless I
  am making it for a party/tailgate event.
