  Yummy but looks a bit dry. Did you marinate them?

  YES!!! Baste it well with a good sop and cook slowly, It should melt in your mouth with a fantastic taste!!!

  Years ago I used a propane fired smoker just like yours to smoke some venison. It ended up being blackened jerky, I mean I ate it but it wasn’t what I had in mind. That was quite early in my meat smoking learning. 
  
  I haven’t tried to smoke venison since then so I don’t have any tips but it looks like you have it under control anyway. 
  
  Your dog looks pissed, maybe you should share with him. 

  I am afraid we forget sometime that the basic and simple things brings us the most pleasure.

  My daughter smokes venison shoulders by basting the meat with ranch dressing, of all things, and using a dry rub she makes, over the ranch.  Anyone who has attended the shoot we host every year can testify that it's delicious.  The trick to smoking deer or other very lean meat is to keep the temperature low and possibly use a bacon wrap or some other type of fatty meat that renders out and keeps the main course moist.  "Medium-rare" is the best stopping point, and it takes some experimentation with temperature and cooking time to get it right.

  They were’t dry. I took ’em out when the inside temp of the meat reached 140 deg Fahrenheit. Smoker’s temp was around 200-210 deg Fahrenheit.
  
  I seasoned them night before with rock salt and dry rub.

  That looks very interesting, noted for future reference.

  Turdus - what wood are you using to smoke the meat?

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

  I cured a deer ham once and it turned out surprisingly good. I had to soak it in brine solution and then smoked them at very low temperature..The brine keeps the meat moist as it cures. It tasted a lot like pork ham.
