    My long time trout fishing buddy John Armstrong headed out west to Mule and Whitetail deer hunt. He had an either or tag for Wyoming. John was going to stop here on the way out but he was too fired up and drove the entire way from Georgia to Wyoming in one day. He called me last night and told me he got a HUGE mulie and was headed back to Georgia via Wisconsin. John wants me to grill up some fresh Mule Deer steaks on my grill.

    The things you must do for your friends…It is amazing. I will have to fire up my grill today and more than likely he will want me to buy beer and celebrate his kill!!!
    He might have to twist my arm on this one…..”NOT”

    any suggestions for spices or marinade to use on a mule deer steak? Are they sage tasting? This one is big and may be tough?

    Why dont Mule Deer come around to this area? (minnesota/wisconsin) I know they are all west, but do they prefer the very high elevation?

    You can simply use the same things that are your favorites for beef. You can try slicing a clove of garlic in half and rubbing the meat and add salt and pepper or some of the McCormick Grill Mates are pretty good too.
    Depending on where he shot it, it may have a bit of sage brush flavoring to it. The keys with any kind of venison is to remove all gamey tasting fat and don’t overcook it. Venison steaks are small and cook rapidly. If you have someone that only likes things “well done” then it is difficult to present something to them that is any good.

    That muley deserves a couple . Where in Wyoming? I’ve had sage brush muley and as long as the fat is gone it tastes like whitetail.

    being that i designed the first deer decoy in ’82 i’ve cooked a LOT of back loin.

    my favorite is to make a ‘dip’ of worcheshire (sp?) olive oil and fresh juice of onion and garlic. i salt it a little also with some lowry’s type. And a bit of freshly cracked pepper.

    we slice the steaks thick (~1″), dip them in the ‘oil’ and then sear very lightly on super hot coals.

    serve with fresh baked potatoes or fry potatoes with lots of onions.

    Most everybody wants seconds…
