thanks ladies. i usually get a deer myself, with a 410. yes, i know, i'm a wussy. but i don't like the kick. my husband says if i hit it, he can track it. but usually i just drop them.
then i have several fella's that hunt our farms, and i always get l apiece from them. just gave away a shopping bag full yest to my cleaning lady. and my girls usually get venison along. i use it as much as i can, and use other meat for variety.
one of the fella's gave us some yr old breakfast sausage he had made, and it was soooooo goood. he said he would take one in and get it made up for me., and i thought , heck i can make it.
