This is my second batch of homemade venison "snacks" for the year. The first batch was Jalepeno and hot pepper cheese sticks, and pepperoni sticks. The pepperoni sticks were PHENOMENAL!!! That seasoning came from Cabelas, and the jalepeno came from Waltons. Normally, I always take around 40# of meat to Yoders in Fredericksburg to have sticks and ring bologna made each year. This time, I decided to do it myself. I bought a package of the bologna seasoning from Cabelas (their brand), and bought the "hunters blend" seasoning from High Mountain for the sticks. I put cheddar cheese in the bologna, and mozzarella in the sticks. I smoked the ring bologna today, and it is GREAT! I will never have it made for me again. It would have cost me around $200 to have 40# of sticks and bologna at Yoders, but it cost me a grand total of $50 for seasoning and cheese.

Ya buddy! I just picked up 13 pounds of jalapeno snacks sticks I had made. I have a grinder now with the sausage stuffers so I will be doing my own next year, it gets TOO expensive when the meat shop does it. How long did it take you to do all that?

Sweet!! My grinder has the sausage attachments too and I have an older Little Chief smoker, just never got the nerve up to give it a try. Figure I'd probably F it up or something. May have to look into this......
I took 13 pounds of deboned venison and a skinned doe minus straps and loins to the butcher. I had the 13 pounds made into jalepeno snack sticks and the doe all burger. $97 was the total, I just wish I got my grinder before this season! Way TOO expensive.

Ten years ago I took my deer to the processor. I sampled some of their sliced beef jerky strips. It was awesome; but not $ 14.00 per pound awesome.
And so it began. I do all my own stuff.
Here's my latest batch of venison bologna, Cracked Black Pepper & Garlic.
