Stuffed Venison Backstrap!

[Eric300]

Yummy.

When I'm in my tree stand freezing my nads off waiting to arrow a deer, I just keep trying to remind myself of why I hunt! It's well worth it when I can grill this outside in the middle of Michigan winter.

Butterflied backstrap stuffed with cream cheese, minced onions, garlic, fried bacon bits, a little salt and ground black pepper. About 20 minutes on the Traeger grill and it chow time.

that looks like it will make winter more enjoyable

Looks great!

There must be a problem with my internet connection. I missed the invite to dinner!

Some of the best venison I've had was whitetail taken on a farm in Kansas/Missouri and probably feeding on alfalfa or corn or some crop. She shot it from her front porch [emoji38].There's no comparison to the sagebrush eating mulies I was hunting [emoji23]

The Pony Express horse must have thrown a shoe. I haven't got mine either.

Actually the reason I like hunting is because it relaxes me. It's like yoga except I still get to kill something-(wiyh due credit given to the great Ron Swanson)

I'll try that I have a couple of back straps in the freezer[emoji2]I did something that came out good last week, pork loin stuffed with apple pie filling[emoji2] about 2 1/2 hours on the Pitt boss at 225[emoji2]internal temp 145[emoji2]

Best deer venison was a mulie/blacktail from an apple orchard in WA. Worst was a "burro" deer (desert Mulie) from by the Colorado River/Salton Sea.

A lot of deer don't get to pick where they are born.

Being able to eat corn and apples, make for some great eating.

Here in Nevada, a lot of the meat is ground up for buger and Salami and
we don't need to add the seasoning "Sage" to our dishes !!

It is very 'Zen' just sitting, watching, listening, and taking in nature all around you. Then, You bag one and the work begins. Tracking, dragging, field dressing, skinning, butchering, etc. That whole 'Zen' thing goes right out the window! LOL

That does sound good. The apple pie filling thing never occurred to me. I'm going to have to give that a try...not with venison, though.

Around me they are all corn, and bean fed. It makes for some tasty venison, especially the Does. Bucks are used for salami, sausage, burger grind, and jerky.

Proper and respectful treatment of the animal. Nicely done!

My biggest deer was a 220lb. 4 x 2 combo. Corn and apple fed. The meat looked like beef. Had 3/4 in. of fat and marbled too. Really cooked well in many recipes. A long time ago.

Friend of mine got an antelope from the Red Desert area. He said it was "Too strong with sage". He traded all of his pronghorn to me for an elk roast. Made the best breakfast sausage!
