"I learned to cook game while my husband was a forestry student," recalls Sheila Reed from Fredericton, New Brunswick. "We lived off the land as much as possible. I still enjoy these savory meatballs in a slightly sweet barbecue sauce. I make a bib batch for an annual pool party and there are never any left."

What a great recipe! My 13 year old son requests this regulary. I agree with cafritz,only the cook would know its venison. : )

I made the recipe exactly as it is. Using 100% venison, too. Something I don't usually do. It was perfect. It would fool anyone that says they don't like venison. Only the cook would know.

This is an incredible recipe!

I made this with ground vinison (that my husband had processed with bacon) the night before Thanksgiving for a large family gathering. It was the HIT of the night!!!

This will be a recipe I will use over and over.
