Haven't killed a deer in over 4 years. That being said, I either use a 1/4
or 1/2 and marinate 12-24 hours in red wine with some of my BBQ rub
to spice it up. Place it in my pit and smoke low and slow for several hours,
using pecan wood. If no pecan is available then oak/hickory will do. Mop
it several times with the wine, rub mix and smoke until it is fork tender.
We have friends that play blues music and they use to have a Christmas
party every Dec. This was a covered dish party with about 50 people.
I would take some of the smoked deer, homemade BBQ sauce and small
breads, cheeses on a large tray. I had lots of complements on my BBQ
beef over the years. One night this young black lady was going for
seconds on the BBQ. I ask do you like my BBQ, she said that is the best
BBQ beef I have ever had. I told her that is deer meat, her eyes got big
and she said, "I don't eat no deer meat". I laughed and said you are now.
Later on the music was playing again and the dancing had started and this
lady looked me up and told me the hostess had told her that I smoked
meats for family and friends around the holidays and would I smoke a
turkey for her. She inquired as to the charge to smoke a turkey. I said
you have to bring it to me thawed and you have to pick it up when it is
ready, also bring a disposable roasting pan. She thought that was cheap
enough and did so for a few years.
This was just a story to show that the method of cooking has a lot to do
with how venison is accepted.
