Thought I would share my recipe for stuffed venison backstrap that I came up with by basically stuffing venison with spinach salad recipe from Lampy's restaurant in Endicott. Id also like to hear everyone else's favorites as we all tend to make the same recipes over and over and Im ready for something new to try. I cook pretty much by eye and dont measure much but you will get the gist. Stuffed Venison Loin Ingredients 1 whole, well trimmed backstrap fresh baby spinach small bag of dried cherries chopped walnuts small container of crumbly bleu cheese 3-4 pieces of bacon balsamic vinegar minced garlic grated parmesan cheese Salt n Pepper Toothpicks or halved bamboo skewers (what I use now) First roll out the loin by slicing lengthwise a three quarter inch thick slice stopping 3/4 of an inch from the cutting board. Then roll loin 90 degrees and repeat till you have wide 3/4 inch thick piece of meat. Sprinkle meat with balsamic and put in fridge for a quick marinade while you make the stuffing Cut up spinach, bacon, and garlic. Mix spinach, cherries, walnuts, crumbly bleu, bacon pieces, garlic, and parmesan cheese Salt and pepper meat to taste then spread enough stuffing that when you roll the venison it just nicely closes Insert toothpicks to hold it closed I then smoke grill with hickory chips on the top rack of my infrared grill at around 250-300 degrees till rare on a meat thermometer. As long as it is slow cooked somehow it will work...this is just my favorite way. Let it stand covered off heat till medium rare then slice. This is considered a delicacy with all our friends and family and I serve it as an appetizer for prime rib I smoke grill on the main grill under the venison...and of course passed the true test which is when people who dont like venison get seconds. Also this is one of the few recipes I prefer with venison over pork or beef though both work well. I posted a pic of it last year right after christmas somewhere here I think. Hope you enjoy!

I agree with the support local small buisness. Just remember the evil big stores were small local stores we made into big chains. I live across the river from DICK'S Store #1....my son works part-time at Dicks store # 2 so invariably we get most of our stuff there IF they have it...the 25% (35% on family night) off is hard to pass up.

I can think of a 100 things we hunters waste money on from soaps to calls to camo patterns (i have most of the junk), but then I see the same guys go cheap on guns. scopes, and ammo or bows, sights , arrows, and broadheads. Id give up everything else before id give up accuracy and dependability.

Jeff, I always had the best groupings out of my remington rifled barrel with the copper solids. That being said my first barrel wouldnt shoot (like I wanted) and Remington gave me a new one and bingo. My barrel doesnt like fast slugs unfortunately. Of course that was 20 years ago, but I wouldnt settle with your barrel if you cant find a load...2" at 75 yds isnt great...i have a smoothbore that will do that easily. Every barrel is different...

Welcome Sean! Im on Otisco and I love my fishing toon! Mine is probably the only 1 with a rocket launcher, masts, riggers, and of course casting deck with a terrova.

Only hooked 15! They should try walleye fishing if thats slow!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive had several cameras go bad and have sent them back even if they were 2-3 years old. All but 1 they fixed or replaced. Give it a try...cant hurt.
