What is your go-to venison and what's your favorite way to prepare it? Mine is Red Deer back strap, seasoned, and seared in a skillet for just a bit until it's truly rare, sliced and served. Oh! Can't forget the ice cold Shiner to wash it down.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I know you meant bagle.

Favorite would be seared tenderloin but since that makes up a whopping 1% of the deer it’s a one meal per deer meal. Most commonly used would be ground.

Depends on the cut. Rear quarters get made into jerky, cut up for kabobs, or cubed for stew / jerky. Shoulders get ground for sausage or anything I’d use ground beef for. Backstrap & tenderloins get seared hot and fast. Everything else gets ground up for breakfast sausage.

White Tail Deer - backstrap sliced 3/8" thick then tenderized with a meat hammer. Seasoned & ckicken fried with cream gravy. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and either corn/green beans/butter beans/pinto beans. Have a bunch of other favorite ways to cook backstrap but I guess chicken fried is still my go to. Carne quisada with rice/beans/home made flour tortillas is right there with chicken fried...but so is filet minyon's. Back strap sliced 3/4" thick and tenderized with a fork. Marinated 24-48 hrs in my special marinade, then wrapped with a piece of thin cut bacon/seasoned/put on the smoker (indirect heat). Glazed with strawberry preserves at the end. Served with my barracho beans and ice cold beer.

Lately we're hitting the ground meat pretty hard. Works great in spaghetti sauce, in chili, and also as a burger (no seasoning, no additions, just form up a patty and cook it in a skillet or over a fire, absolutely delicious).

these days unless i cook it off the bone it goes into ground meat... we use ground meat at the house 5 nights a week so it just makes things better and healthy...
My favorite is taking the tenders right off the deer giving them a rinse roll them in beer then a light seasoning and cook a few minutes on each side over a wood fire..
If you at camp you can take a stick and put it right down the middle and hang over the fire... make sure to cook through but it does not take long at all if you got a decent fire or coals built up... there is no better cut of meat on a deer and ill even take the time to grab them out of most big sow hogs

Same here usually cooking for 7 so big meals are best with ground meat.... I do the same with burgers but add an egg or two depending on how many im making to help hold the patties

We have a lot of favorite things with venison, including meat loaf, spaghetti sauce, etc.... But one of my favorites is mixing a couple pounds of ground with a roll of Owens hot sausage, and cooking it over a grill. It's great this way on a hamburger bun, or as a big breakfast sausage with a couple over easy eggs and some potatoes !

the list is endless almost ... but my favorite is German fried with skillet fries and cream gravy.
we have also gotten to really like taking tenderized steaks, a quick bath in zesty Italian salad dressing, dust with black pepper, garlic & onion powder then grilling for a couple minutes per size for fajitas.
hard to beat a butterflied stuffed backstrap (cream cheese, chopped jalapeno & onion, seasoning) wrapped in bacon into the smoker.
