-Skin you game to cool meat ASAP.
-Wash down inside and out with cold water.
-Hang for a week in a cold, NON-HUMID environment.
-De-bone all muscle and slice with a knife. Don't use a bandsaw as bone dust tastes crappy.
-Remove ALL fat from steaks, roasts, and stew.
-Replace fat in the grinds with pork fat or pork shoulder meat.
-Does generally taste a bit better.

I agree with this except for the week hanging.
If you gotta hang it, leave the hide on to keep it from drying, otherwise cut it asap and get down to the good bit, eating it.
I'm not sorry to say that I don't mind the taste of a little deer fat. All the 'gamey' comments I have ever heard from guys about my jerky, pretty much meant that they wanted it to taste like beef from the grocery store. I stopped sharing my jerky with them. Problem solved!
Rare rare rare! Warmed through, but pink and moist in the middle. Slice it thin, make a gravy out of the pan for over top. Mmmm.
I do a lot of stews, too, for tender eats. Usually really simple, not much for spices. Garlic, oinion, a couple bay leaves, salt and pepper, and that's about it for stew.Love it!
Some steak spice onna chunk of strap or tenderloin, done in a fairly warm pan, sliced thin and served up with some nice vegetables.... MMmmm.
Making my mouth water!
Cheers
