Thanksgiving would not have been the same without this recipe for venison. We took the deer 4 days prior to Thanksgiving with the idea of having a traditional American Thanksgiving of Venison and Turkey. My kids had never eaten venison and the thought of eating "Bambi" didn't sit well at first. But once they tried the venison prepared by marinating from this recipe, they loved it. In fact they asked for it the next day for lunch. The only difference was that instead of marinating for 4 hours, I marinated for a full 24 hours. I really think that may have made a big difference. 21 guests at Thanksgiving dinner swore it was the best venison they ever had. In fact, in many cases, they said it was the only time they ever enjoyed venison. Thanks for the idea.
