Roasted a whole venison haunch for NYE dinner tonight. Heavy salt dry brine for 24 hrs after cutting excess fat, silver skin, and connective tissue I could. I made a marinade from rendered bacon fat, beef stock, and compound butter, and injected the meat all over with the marinade.

After that I basted the entire roast in more bacon fat, then a simple dry rub of garlic powder, onion power, salt, and black pepper. Back in the over at 350 for about another hour, until 130 internal.
