Hi Annie: I’ve cooked venison plenty of times in a slow cooker, which works well. And I actually marinated chunks of venison in buttermilk once — it was so freaking good. But perhaps doing both is the way to go when it comes to preparing oh-so scrumptious DEER LEG. Thanks for the recommendation! Jessie

so, i moved to an island off the coast of maine about three years ago. before that, i’d never eaten deer. and, pretty much, i still haven’t. BUT, i hear that soaking the roast in buttermilk overnight and baking it long and slow is the way to go. apparently this removes some of the gamey-ness. the word on the street is that it is best to use a dutch oven.
good luck.
