from last year's 8 point. Doing a shoulder roast in the Instant Pot with potatoes, carrots and rice.

What should I do with the last (massive) backstrap?

Cut it in 3 sections and grill whole to 125 degrees, slice thin with grilled onions and grilled chiles.

Yeah, I've about run out of deer meat too.

Don't know whether to cook the rest of last season's 10 point or maybe I should finish the 12 point.

Whaddya think?

I've got a ham off of my 14 point that I'm going to put on the smoker whole.

I gave my 16 point away.

Unless you’re cooking the antlers, why mention the points?

The Dianne is a VERY good choice as well! Make plenty of the sauce, and if you've got some mushrooms....toss them in as well.

I made a venison sauce piquant out of my last blackstrap today.

I use Richards dark roux in jar. Put a cup of beef broth in cast iron skillet and put about a cup of roux in and stir around until iit emulsified. Then proceed

I’ve got 2 doe rumps and a button buck backstrap left. Always save a strap for opening weekend.

His sardinian hare stew is one of my favorite dishes.

I’ve done it with swamp rabbits, deer and hog shoulders. That sauce/juice and some French bread is amazing.

I'll give that one a try with some wild pork. Looks damn good. I'm embarrassed about how many jack rabbits I shot and left when I was a kid.

His barbacoa recipe for shanks is amazing as well

I might try that tomorrow with a hog shoulder. I planned on braising it low overnight and picking it for tacos for a lunch we’re having Saturday but may do this instead.

It's damn good with pork as well. I used the meat for tamales a while back.

Last weekend I used the barbacoa recipe for beef cheeks. I smoked them at 200 for about 3 hours then put in the braising liquid uncovered on the smoker until it was fork tender. I flipped it every couple of hours. I tore the meat up and crisped it up on a griddle before putting on a taco. It's a pretty versatile recipe.
