On the grill
Red deer sits between roe deer and moose in size, and cooks more like the latter: a whole haunch benefits from reverse searing rather than a straight direct grill.
Very lean venison muscle; bard it or baste it through the cook to stop the surface drying out before the centre reaches temperature.
