Follow the recipe below for a seriously crave-worthy and easy to make Venison BBQ Sandwich

Barbecued Deer Ham

It sounds like it should be utterly disgusting, but our Barbecued Deer Ham is great as a meat dish for a unique supper or for BBQ sandwiches. It’s not like a pork ham. Pork is fatty, but deer are lean. So you have to be VERY careful not to overcook.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
