    Smoking bear bacon q view

    Well three of the loaves are done. And I do have to say I truly surprised myself again. Earlier this year was my first attempt at venison sausage and that was great but this bacon is amazing. Can't wait to slice it up and have it with some eggs in the morning with the family!!!!
