One time we got in a deer in that was so black and dried out, it looked like it was hanging for two weeks. The guy asked to make jerky out of the whole thing. I said it already looks like jerky. He didn't think that was funny. We cut it up and threw the meat in the bin. Another time one of the guys was bringing in a doe to the cooler, he had the ass close to his face and as he came closer he started gagging. We hung it up and he vomit right there in the cooler. It was a fresh kill and warm that year, I believe 1999, so when he lifted it up some of the goobage splattered on his face. OH did I laugh. That was one of the worst smelling deer i have ever come across. Luckily  I didn't have to cut that one up. We made a newbie do it. Like I said always do your own, It can be enjoyable and give you a sense of pride by taking an animal from hoof to your table.- - - Updated - - - For hamburger I like to mix about 2 lbs of bacon for every 8 lbs of venison. Makes wonderful burgers, plus it keeps in the freezer very well. Sausage I do a 50/50 mix of pork and venison. I like to make roast and stews with my hind quarters so I don't get a lot for grinding but sometimes i do meat sticks with a 75/25 venison to pork.</blockquote>
