I ran a search & came up with a bunch.
So just type in “Summer sausage recipe“ in the search box.
It’s the magnifying glass up on the upper right.

Hi there and welcome!

Man I'm jealous of all the venison meat you have been able to get!

I don't have a general summer sausage recipe BUT I do all my venison sausage at 80% pure venison meat and 20% fat. Pork back fat for sausage like summer sausage.
Beef fat with anything like pastrami flavor sausage/formed meat.

You can't go wrong with 20% fat and it means you are eating mostly venison and only adding the fat of the pork which is needed for sausage.

I mostly do Franks, Brats, and I would to a Texas Hot Link if I had gotten any deer in the past year and a half but no hunting for me until I fully put the pandemic recovery behind me. Though I may be able to take some ferral pigs soon :)

I hope this info helps some :)
