Although taste in my book is much more important…

any thoughts as to the calorie count etc on a summer sausage (2 lb deer, 10oz pork fat, 6 oz hi temp cheddar cheese + seasoning/cure)?

you are right where you need to be with the pork fat. an equation to remember is F + S = (fat plus salt = flavor)

Protein (P ) Fat (F) Carbs

Deer 2 lb:
Calories 1340
230 Protein
30 Fat
0 Carb

Pork Fat:
Calories 1,839
14 Protein
201 Fat
0 Carb

Cheese
Calories 360
Protein 18
Fat 6
Carbs 0

So, that would be 3,539 Calories, 262 grams of portein, 237 grams of fat and no carbs. Now, that doesn’t factor in the seasoning but even if you are using a BBQ seasoning with a lot of sugar it is still so low that I don’t think it is going to matter ton. I might be wrong on that but I have done the math in the past for seasonings and it is just above what you can declare as “sugar free” which is less than 0.5 grams per serving.
