Time for some wild game, and what better piece of meat to do then the back loin? Got a mule deer last year, real nice buck!

Here's the loin rubbed down with some Montreal Steak Seasoning.

On the Performer we go with some hickory ready to smoke, all vents wide open and let'er ride.

Put it on direct for a little sear, and basted with some butter seasoned with Byron's Butt Rub and minced garlic.

Let it rest for 20-30min and sliced.

Now that was some tender tasty buck! Just needed some good taters, but didn't have'em. Well thanks for lookin!!
 
Good looking buck and man that tenderloin looks perfect!! I do love some venison...got a couple hunts planned real soon so I hope I can do this soon! Our Sitka black tails are much smaller but very mild venison and great flavor!!

Looks like a 454 your shooting!

Nice nice nice!!

Nice nice nice!!
You nailed it my friend! Hand loaded some Hornady 250gr xtp slugs for that bad boy. Outstanding performance!
 
Nice work!!! What kind of range do you get out of that? My best was a nice buck at 75 yards with a Ruger 41 with 210's!!?
 
The loin looks nice and lean, yet still juicy. I've tried roasted venison loin before, but never smoked. I bet the flavor of deer loin smoked in hickory rules to high heaven.
 
WOW Six, nice trophy mule deer, just wondering did you shoulder mount him? And the back strap looks fantastic too! I also will go after a trophy mule deer 4th rifle season. Hope that I can find one as big as yours. Nice post and thanks for sharing.
