    Black Bear & Cheddar Pepperoni and Black Bear & Cheddar snack Sticks

    I really like their mix. My personal preference is to slightly over season with it as it's a bit mild if you measure it exact. Example 5 lbs of meat but use seasoning for 5 1/2lbs.

    Black Bear & Cheddar Pepperoni and Black Bear & Cheddar snack Sticks

    I've also seen that page.   I typically use NFDM for all my sausages however the Pepperoni came with soy so I used that up.  Because this was wild game and Bear to boot and had to achieve a higher internal temp they were not really moist but still had moisture.  They came out perfect!

    Black Bear & Cheddar Pepperoni and Black Bear & Cheddar snack Sticks

    Yes sir 165 internal temp. Although I have read 137 was the magic temp to go above to kill Tricinosis. Here is a good read on Bear and feral pigs. I found other resources that said the same as well. https://honest-food.net/on-trichinosis-in-wild-game/

    Thanks everyone.  I harvest a lot of different wild game meat and fish and try to incorporate them into a smoked product.   The trail bologna was my first time doing a smoke in larger casings and it turned out excellent.  I definitely can't wait to do more of this size. Up next on my project...
