Larry, Welcome to the board! Nice to see you posting. Canned deer meat when done right is hard to beat. I'm just happy that another was able to benefit from what I posted. Experiment from time to time when you do your canning. My personal favorite is quite simply a teaspoon of salt and 1 or 2 garlic cloves.
