As we all begin preparing for the upcoming hunting seasons, now is the perfect time to kick back with your buds and begin planning upcoming hunts and strategies.  Typically I like to do this enjoying some frosty beverages and venison.  One of my all-time favorites is venison tenderloins wrapped in bacon, smothered in BBQ sauce.

To start, take a frozen back strap and cut “hockey puck” sizes of strips.  Next, marinate them in your favorite marinade and spices for 24 hours in you fridge.  I personally like the liquid smoke flavor.  Pre-heat your grill on medium (or 350).  Wrap bacon around the perimeter of the pucks, holding them in place with tooth-picks.  Use 2 slices of bacon if required.  Cook the meat until the bacon is ready, use this as your gauge for when the meat is ready.  About 5 minutes before you are ready to serve, smother each portion with your favorite BBQ sauce.  Remove from the grill and enjoy!
