A guy at work gave me a small deer roast. I'm experienced at making deer jerky but nothing else. Tonight I thought I'd try smoking a roast. I know nothing of cooking deer and I didn't google it. I just winged it. I started be seasoning with a wild game rub than vac bagging it with Italian dressing as a marinade. In the mean time I processed some of my neighbors mulberry tree for smoke wood. I reverse seared when the internal hit 150. I was pleasantly surprised by its flavor. I would make it again.

Look good. I won't be cooking any deer meat this year. Three of us got drawn for mule deer season and got three nice bucks. Got them tested for chronic wasting desease and all three came back positive with the desease. They recommend not eating it so it looks like its going to be garbage.
Very nice Sean. Did you take it to 150 for a specific reason? I've always tried for rare to med rare for lean cuts.

I didn't look up what was a recommended temperature for venison so I was just playing it safe.
