RE: front tenderloins
I read this lastnight and I was stumped also. Well I just happen to get a deer this morning with my bow. Upon cleaning it and removing the back strap and tenderloins there are two small tiny loins inside the ribcage, on the inner spine. now these might be a lot bigger on huge deer but on a 100 lb'er there small. But yes they are there. Check it out next time .

RE: front tenderloins
TRY THIS
The back straps are from the ribs to the sirloin.
2 nice long pieces of tender meat
As soon as you skin it you can cut them out.Right
Now what we call...(dosent mean its right[])the tenderloin would be inside the body cavity(oppositt the loin half backstraps)on both sides of the backbone,right about where the loin is showing on the picture.
As soon as you drop thebelly out of the dear you see 2 red juicy pieces of meat next to the backbone.

RE: front tenderloins
Atlasman The rear tenderloins are an unused muscle, as are these front tenderloins. Both ends are attached to bone.
The tenderloins are not used because deer walk on all fours. They still get used.......just very little which is why they are so tender.
I will check along the spine inside the ribcage of the next deer I butcher and see what you are talking about.
