Did you marinade or anything? I generally stick to the young doe backstraps myself.

How'd you cut it? Marinade? Thickness?

A bigger buck like that I usually fry them. That way I can pound the hell out of it

Huge backstrap pieces I cut into 4 quarters marinaded in milk then seasoned with worshistire and others. Delicious but too tough.

I would say you overcooked it as well

I thought it was a little undercooked to be honest. It didn't look over cooked. So can those bigger ones be a little more tough like hogs?

I do high heat and medium rare at the most

It looked like a med piece of meat. I think I didn't put the heat hight enough from the get go.

I like to keep venison at med rare and any more than that and it gets exponentially tougher. Is grilling backstrap something you usually do? And if so do you normally cook it this long? If so and this one is tougher maybe it is because of its age, but I have grilled straps from bigger with no problem,

How many minutes did you grill it?
Was the deer running before you shot it?, such as being run by dogs?

i'm going with the majority here

I usually fry or pan sear small pieces. The first time I pulled it off it was still bleeding. I'm pretty sure I should have had my heat higher and seared it.
I think the deer was about 3-4years old so probably pretty old. Can I take the overcooked pieces and put them on low heat covered and turn into roast type meats?
