For breakfast sausage I mix my deer 70/30...or there abouts with pork fat.
For my smoked summer sausage I mix it 70/30 with beef suet.

16 ounces ground pork
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon coriander Supposed to be a copy of the hot Jimmy Dean. V-E-R-Y good!!

Just remember that deer meat has a tendency to be stronger than pork -- we did not know this the first time we made sausage using deer meat and so we used the same amount of seasonings that we use for straight pork season. WOW! It was HOT and strong! For some reason it does not take as much seasoning and it gets stronger the older the sausage is.
