Congratulations! The first one is always the hardest! Glad you didn't give up...should be some fine eating...I can smell those backstraps on the grill from here!!! Wrapped in bacon, medium rare, cold beer....doesn't get any better!

Thanks all, it was awesome, I’m hooked for life now!

AppleOMH: I guess I better show my partner how to set the time and date on his digital!
Froman: hang in there! Your day will come.
Masterdiver/Davidmil: I am stationed at Robins AFB, GA, that's where I shot this doe.
Springgobbler: just bacon on it? No seasonings? Medium heat?

Thanks again all, I’m going back out Sunday

I like to cut the backstraps into about 3/4" steaks (or you can leave it whole, then slice later either way) and either roll in crushed peppercorns or soak for just a bit in peppercorn/garlic marinade. Wrap in bacon and sear them on both sides then leave on medium heat until you get it to the doneness you want....mmmmm, good stuff! p.s....your buddies will be glad to help you with the next one after some of these.

Again, congrats...
