Unless your venison is mixed with fat already, it'll be a bit dry.
Take your fatty to 160*, slice and enjoy!

I get nervous with game and especially ground game/domestic mixes. Dunno why... the ground thing always worries me. That's why I go a bit higher. It can play hell with a cheese filling tho sometimes. Ends up more "infused" with the meat.
 
Put anything in that fatty you want. Might add some fatty bacon to it for a bit of moisture. Might run the temp up about 170* because it was wild once. Use cubed cheese might hold up a bit better in the higher temp.

Some (and only some) of the things in a fatty, peppers, mushrooms, onions, cheese, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns you name it or like it, you can probably put it in a fatty! Good luck!
 
I just grab a 1 # log, roll it in rub, set it up on the warmin rack and bring her to 165 or there bouts. Pull it off for a snack while the other Q is going. After you have done one you will be hard pressed to fire up that smoker without a fatty sittin on the side. With the venison I would combine it with a lb of pork, wrap er in bacon and let er go. Keep it simple to start out with.
