Is there a better “cut” of venison, that’s less gamey, I could convince one of my coworkers to share and try?  Have a couple that hunt and they would probably be more then willing to part ways with some even if it took a couple of bucks ?

I'm sorry, I don't know. I don't hunt or cook the stuff; I just eat it. What I had most recently was in smoked sausage form, and I didn't think it was at all gamey, or even wild-tasting. It was, however, awesome. I also had some kind of roast that was very good, but considerably "wilder". One thing I remember hearing: deer is very lean, and you need to either brine the meat to start breaking down proteins and add moisture, or add fat to keep it from drying out in the process. I don't think you could go wrong with slathering on seasonings then wrapping a hunk o' venison in bacon :drool:
