I hunt Zones D-14,and D-16 in so cal. I have pulled some from both zones. But the ones from D-16 don't taste as gamey. It has to do with the diffrent food they are eating. Hopefully I get drawn for southern utah this year.....

I also hunted in UT. when I was a kid. You didn't have to draw back then, and even for out-of-staters, you could just get an over the counter tag. We hunted out of Beaver City. We all got out deer. I got a small 4 pointer on the 3rd day, but one of the old guys got a massive 4x4 that took 3rd place in the Vegas tournament. It was 42" wide and about 350 lbs on the hoof. Me and another kid had to go help pull it down out of the hills. I never saw so many big bucks before. I walked up on a big non-typical that had been dragged down to the trail. I counted 17 points on one side and 21 on the other. Needless to say, for a kid, I had a total blast.

So you hunt was down south. That's understandable given where you live. I hunted X-8 way back then, and from what I gather it's real hard now to draw one of those tags now. I couldn't imagine hunting in that hot country where you do. As you would imagine 10,000 ft elevation in X-8 was a dream to hunt. Just gorgeous country.

Soak it in milk overnight, rinse it off and pat it dry. From there it's just light seasoning and not too much heat.
I soaked some venison steaks in milk overnight and served it to my in-laws. He didn't believe me when I told him it was venison, he kept insisting it was beef. This from someone who always has a freezer with elk, venison and antelope.
More importantly, don't over cook it. People tend to think because it's 'wild game' they have to cook the bejeebus out of it. There is no reason to cook it beyond medium, medium rare is better. Because of the low fat content it can dry out very quickly, leaving you with shoe leather.

tenderloin
1)slice thinly bread in seafood breader fry in the skillet
2)cut into chunks marinate in italian dressing put on skewer with potatoes and green peppers then grill
3)slice very thinly soak in lime juice and dehydrate for awesome jerky(be sure to freeze meat for 30 days prior)
everything, but tenderloin should be cut with beef fat and made into sausage and burger
