That sounds pretty darn tasty! Easy to prepare too! Sometimes it's the simple things that work best. I know I really enjoy those types of meals as they really seem "homemade" and country style. good eats!

You can always drape the roast with caul fat http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/glossary/g/caul_fat.htm or wrap in fatty unsmoked bacon, or baste with juices as it's cooking in the oven. You can always make the roasts a little smaller, so you cook for less time. Remember to always let your roast rest http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/meatrest.html after you take it out of the oven. This reduces the chance of really drying (bleeding) out your roast as you cut into it. I like to take tender parts of game meat and sear them over a hot skillet. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/24341-pan-seared-coues-backstrap/?hl=coues This method always turns out great for me, Especially since I like my venison on the rare side.

Okay. Here is the deal... Roasting is a dry cooking method. Kidso's bear was braised, not roasted. Braising is a wet cooking method. When you put a piece of meat in a pot with liquid and covered, then simmer over low heat for a long period/ of time...this is braising. (A crock-pot gives you the same results) If you cook a piece of meat uncovered and in an oven, this is roasting. Also primarily catered to richer cuts of meat with higher fat content. (like cuts perfect for grilling) So a cut of meat with good fat marbleization, is a great candidate for grilling and roasting. Therefore, a lean cut of meat, such as venison and elk, will come out dry when roasted. Personally, I don't even try it, as I know the end result will be bone dry. Heck, I've even braised (cooked covered and with liquid) Barbary sheep and it still was dry! When you cooked Birria and Cabeza, it was braised and or stewed slowly in liquid. This gives you a better result. (That's why when you use beef, which has a higher fat content, these dishes come out absolutely incredible) Hope i make sense and if you have any questions, please ask!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Congrats to your Mom on taking a great bull. I find it so AWESOME that you get to hunt with her. That non-typical is a monster!

Great story and fantastic archery buck! I know your Dad must be very proud of you. Congratulations to you both. Thank you so much for sharing your success and welcome to the forums!

Super great write up! Thanks for taking us with you on your trip! I can do all of it except the mosquitoes. Okay, sitting the blind isn't that fun either! So how many John Deere tractors did you see? i really enjoyed the additional scenic photos. There is always more to a hunting trip than what people think.
