    Advice - First Venison Snack Sticks

    Definitely use the sheep casings. It is well worth the trouble. I have done tests with over a dozen people and all preferred the natural. It has a nice snap and look more real. Don't want to ruffle any feathers here though. It is a matter of preferance. Also don't worry about cutting them...
