Looking for a good breakfast sausage recipe. Got lots of good fat sows baited up. Gonna start popping them Friday night and want to try the new grinder out.

Mix venison and the pork together. That's one of my favorites for sausage.

... together with about 10% or 20% store-bought 'Bacon Ends & Pieces'.
Wild pork & venison are both very lean, and will benefit from the fat added from above (as well as flavor).

I use my own spices, and make two varieties; reg (blk ppr) and HOT(red/cey ppr)
1. Coarse Black pepper, onion powder, coarse salt, sage powder, & a little bit of Thyme.
2. Cayenne pepper / crushed red pepper,paprika, Garlic powder, salt, and sage.

Over there in Shelby County you might be able to get Tex-Joy Sausage Seasoning locally. If not, you can order it on-line. My wife and I both like using it for breakfast sausage better than any other recipe I've found. I get it in 12 ounce containers in the grocery store when I visit relatives in the Port Arthur/Beaumont area. I add 2-3 tablespoons of cayenne pepper to the 12 oz. container for making regular sausage, and for breakfast sausage I also add 2-3 teaspoons of rubbed sage for each five pounds of sausage I'm making. Regarding the cayenne, I'd start with 2 Tbsp per 12 oz. of seasoning unless you like it pretty spicy.

Easy and tasty.

The container says it does 40 Lbs of meat, and I go by that.

I started using it after one of my neighbors, who is now retired but formerly owned and operated a BBQ restaurant SW of Austin said it was his favorite sausage seasoning. He made his own sausage for the restaurant, and settled on the Tex-Joy sausage seasoning with extra Cayenne as his standard offering.
