Smoked Deer - cooking recipe

Ingredients

deer tenderloin or back strap
Wicker's marinade
Wish-Bone Italian dressing
bacon

Preparation

Mix two parts Wicker's with one part dressing. Place deer in a Ziploc bag and cover with marinade. Remove excess air from bag and seal. Allow meat to marinate in refrigerator 6 to 8 hours, flipping bag over half way through time. Remove meat from marinade and wrap bacon around meat. Secure with toothpicks. Cook on smoker according to smoker's directions. This tastes best if not overcooked. Remove at 130\u00b0 to 140\u00b0 for medium rare. (I use a digital meat thermometer.)
