So Christmas 2010, I took the family on a driving trip to Virginia (I'm in Tampa, FL) to visit my brothers who all live in a fairly close area. My one brother is a pretty avid deer hunter, and part of why i'm building the 308 is to go hunting with him next winter. Anyhow, among the joys of spending the holidays with them in general, he had plenty of venison that we ate, and among it he had some done into sausage patties that were unbelievable. When I started putting the 308 together, my 8 year old daughter immediately asked "how soon can we go deer hunting" :D
