Well my neighbor shot a doe yesterday. There is a 5 day doe only hunt goin on here. Well he gave me a hind leg which weighs 9 1/2 pounds and I am guess the bone to be maybe 2 1/2 pounds. I have seen deer ham kits but I have what I need to cure it. In Ryteks book he recommends a brine and pump for home cureing. I was planning on measureing out 7 TBLS. TQ and maybe 5-7 TBLS of brown sugar, dissolve a portion of this with the proper amount of water and inject. Then add the rest dry, wrap and keep in the fridge a week. Has anyone made a deer ham, not just a smoked leg not using a kit and did you brine or dry cure. I went to search but there are so many posts and maybe I overlooked it. Thanks Gang
