Leave the venison in the refrigerator to brine for 5 days, turning the meat over every day.
Step 3
To cook, rinse the meat well, place into a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 4 hours. Remove the venison from the pot, and allow to rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
