Soak the hog casings in water for 30 minutes to rehydrate them.

Mix the hot dog seasoning in the water according to the package's directions.

Add the dissolved seasoning to 5 pounds of double ground venison with 20% pork fat and mix well with hands.

Remove the sausage container from the stuffer and fill it with the venison mixture.

Load a rehydrated casing onto the sausage stuffer and tie off the loose end with a knot.

Slowly turn the handle on the stuffer to fill the casings with the hot dog mixture, minimizing air bubbles.

Continue until you run out of casing and tie off the other end of the casing.

Preserve the links in vacuum sealer bags and freeze them for later use.
