Saute carrots, onions and celery, finely chopped, in 4 Tbsp fat.

Don't cook so hot that vegetables become browned. Add remaining ingredients and boil then simmer, covered, for ½ hour. Allow to cool and you are ready to use. Cover the meat completely if possible.

If not, turn every ½ hour while in marinade. Otherwise, if meat fully covered, turn about every 3 hours. Keep meat in marinade for from 2 hours to 48 hours depending on your assessment of the tenderness and flavor of the deer. Refrigerate if more than 8 hours.

Keep marinade, strained, for gravy or soup flavoring. Recipe date: 01/15/63
