Last weekend Philip and I finished up the last task from the 2022 hunting season - the annual burger grind. This year we used the elk to make straight burger and all my deer to make Italian Sausage. We added Bells Flats pig shoulder scraps and fat to the sausage. So our Italian Sausage is 'all Kodiak' meat. We added Safeway beef fat to the elk burger. We ended up with 50 pounds of burger and 41 pounds of sausage. That's a lot of meat, and it also a lot of wrapping.
Of all the meat in the freezer I think I like the burger and the sausage the best. They are certainly the easiest to use. For that reason I actually added 'good' cuts of elk and deer to the respective piles. Even some big roasts. I'd rather have more burger!
Anyway 2022 Hunting season is complete!
