OK...here's goes with some cookbooks... I've found recipes that say "elk" or "caribou" or whatever work just fine with deer meat, regardless of species.
Cooking Alaskan, one of my favorites, featuring recipes for things you'll never want to eat, and some great ones for stuff you do. ISBN # 0-88240-237-4
Outdoor Tables and Tales, edited by Robert Hitt Neill (Who is likely some kind of shirttail relative of mine). ISBN # 1-879958-02-3
The Elk Hunter's Cookbook, from RMEF. ISBN # 1-56044-301-4
The Game Cookbook, by Geraldine Steindler. I like this one because it has 15 pages of burger recipes

. ISBN # 0-88317-111-2
On the fancier side:
Complete Fish & Game Cookbook, by A.D. Livingston, who writes for
Gray's Sporting Journal. Many of the recipes are fairly simple, but some are not. ISBN # 0-8117-0428-9
Game Cookery in America and Europe, by Raymond R. Camp. Have some time and check the ingredient list carefully before attempting these recipes -- but they are worth the effort. ISBN # 0-89586-695-1
A Taste of the Wild, by A.J. McClane. Another one to make sure you have some time before trying. ISBN # 0-525-93346-8
I imagine some of these cookbooks may be out of print, but a search of Amazon might turn a copy up.
Good eating
