Wild game Bacon

can anyone give me any tips for making deer bacon with wild and domestic hog?
-
Usually what I have seen described as deer bacon is actually a mixture of ground lean venison and ground pork fat mixed with cure and flavoring.
After mixing, it is formed into a loaf and smoked. After cooling it is sliced and packaged.
It can be very good and will have a bacon flavor, but the texture is entirely different than pork belly bacon. -
Just as processhead described above that is the recipe I have had in the past for deer “bacon.”

tmully Imitation Bacon Unit Seasoning is really good for this purpose.
-
I made 20 lb with a 15 lb of venison and 5 lb of ground pork with bacon cure / seasoning from Cabelas.
So easy to make and very good -
I definitely recommend the imitation bacon flavoring. My younger brother wanted to try it so I made some with venison and added the imitation bacon flavor, turned out very good and now he wants more. I told him just as soon as he supplies the venison!
