depending on how you prepare the deer, you can also parboil it. A lot of my deer recipes involve a slowcooker. I will put the deer steaks or roast in a big pot of water, bring it to a boil (there will be a bunch of brown foam that accumulates and thats the blood and stuff). Then take the meat out and prepare it how you like, slow cook, can or pan fry. It makes for a super tender cut of meat but it might not workout for someone whos grilling.
