Sausage Venison smoked hunter stick. Wisconsin USA

Made in rural Mauston Wisconsin by two meat guys, John Hamm and David Bauer and their fantastic team using local game, natural casings and virtually no preservatives other than smoke. Hunter sticks are traditional small size cured and smoke sausages that hunters pack into their shoulder pouches along with their knives and other essential hunting tools. This habit of packing sausages in the bag goes as far as the 6^th Century BC.

As a meat, venison has a lot going for it. Its flavor is far more interesting than flabby pork or cheap chicken. Ounce for ounce, it contains less fat than a skinless chicken breast. It has the highest protein and the lowest cholesterol content of any major meat. It's thoroughly sustainable and always free-range.
