How to prepare harvested meat?

May be a thread on this already, but how do you prepare harvested pig or deer or dove or quail…?
I tried my own pig and deer (deer from a friend) and it was interesting.
Wondering about marinades, rubs and recipes.

We make all kine with our game meat! In my opinion it's the meat prep that really makes it great. Although l do know a few people who prefer gamey tasting meat. Majority of the ones l know do not so l do prep it differently depending on who I'm sharing it with.

I tried attaching some pics of what l like making. Bacon is one too but couldn't find my pics lol

Cooking deer is going to be very different from wild pig.  Axis Deer is very lean.  For Deer, you should treat it like either lamb or grass fed beef.  If you are making steaks or roasts, cook it medium rare.  You can also do the low and slow method like braising (or crockpot), using the shoulder cuts.  A lot of people grind up the deer for chili, or you can add commercial pork fat the the ground deer to make burgers.  You can also slice it thin and make teriyaki.
