This has been the best hunting season in many years. I was lucky enough to draw both a deer and elk tag this year. I filled my elk tag 3 weeks ago and yesterday, I found a little mule deer to add to the freezer. He is a little 8-pointer. This is my first deer since 2004. I have killed a whole lot of whitetails but this is my first mule deer. I got him about 200 yards from where I got my elk. Going to rename the spot as AJ's meadow.
Luckily it was only about a mile recovery.

Anyhoo, I skinned and quartered him and go him on ice yesterday and finished the prep for sausage today. I steaked out the backstraps and cooked the tenderloins whole. The rest is going to breakfast sausage and snack stix.
Back to the dinner part, I gave the tenderloins a coating of Tatonka Dust and in a vacuum bag to sous vide at 130 for a couple hours. I added a few TBSP of butter along with some garlic and rosemary into the deBuyer pan and once it was very hot I added the TL and basted it with the flavored butter.
I cooked some rosti potatoes and had them as the side. Wow, this thing was awesome!
