    Ham extravaganza

    2 bear roasts. 5 deer roasts. 2 deer hindquarters. Brined 8 days and injected. Smoked 8 hours. Finished on grill just to get to final temp. Venison holds more salt than bear... meat is more dense. Comparable to good salt cured ham. Bear ham has more marbling and is far superior.
