Nothing goes to waste 'round here
Just got finished proccesing the doe I took on Saturday. Nothing and I mean nothing went to waste except the skin. I fired up the pit for some deer steaks and I burned the leg bones on the pit and gave it to the dogs, even all of the fat and silver skin was cooked and fed to my dogs. I gave them the head on sunday when I got back and that was gone by today.
Even my little chiuaua ate good today. My dogs love deer season.
I had a bunch of scrap from last year in the freezer, neck, shoulders, flanks, forearms and stuff. I ground it up on Monday and made some sausage. I mix pork and deer 50-50. I ended up making 100 pounds of sausage. Like I said nothing goes to waste, I save it all, even scrap, it makes good sausage. Even through a few hearts in it.
