Combine ingredients to seasoning together, add to sausage mixture. Blend well. Cover and let set over-night in refrigerator.
Casings I use natural casings, "hog" , I like to soak mine in gallon of water to cap full of vinegar. Remove from soaking and rinse well with clean water, opening the casings to get a good rinse threw out. Tie knot at one end of the casing or use butchers string works too.

Cajun Maple Glazed Wild Hog Tenderloin
1 large Wild Hog Tenderloin, trimmed
Oil
Cajun Dry Rub
I like to let my whole tenderloin stand @ room temp for 20 minutes before grill?n. Sear the tenderloin over high high heat (direct heat)for about 6 minutes , on each side. You?ll get them great looking grill marks and the juices from the tenderloin will be seared in. I turn off 1 of the 3 burners on my gas grill and the others to medium heat, moving the seared tenderloin over to the burner that is off completely (indirect heat) cooking. I will cook the seasoned tenderloin until internal temp reaches 155 to 160 F. I?ll brush the maple glaze over the tenderloin, remove from grill, wrap in tin foil for 10 minutes (rest period) before I slicing.
