Our family enjoys this part of the year that includes deer hunting. Many memories have been made around the archery targets in our back yard. And,  yes, I even enjoy hunting using a crossbow. Venison roast is a favorite at our house and is the first item to be  made when we harvest a deer. Our family tradition is to process all our venison and smoke bologna, jerky, and snack sticks. This recipe is also very good with a beef roast if you do not have access to venison.
