Aint too many things better than fresh backstrap. Although that’s a little too rare for my taste, I do respect everybody’s opinions and preferences. One of the best meals I’ve ever had was when I was out camping one year with my dad and his 4 brothers (my uncles). We cooked some backstrap on an open campfire with Montreal steak seasoning. That’s all we used. That’s all it needed. That and some cold beer … we ate like kings that night. Just us in the woods. No one else around for 50 miles probably. Not a care in the world. One of my favorite memories with my dad.

[@HelptheBear_ImtheBear]

Montreal seasoning is so good but you can easily over season with it.

[@jakemitchell1671]

Wow...did you just bring back some of my best memories!! My dad (RIP, Dad), used to cut a backstrap in half, put a stick cut from a tree near the campfire through it, and then hang it over the coals. He would tell stories while brushing butter and garlic salt over the BS as it cooked. Then at the very end he would brush a little soy sauce over it and pull the BS down into the fire to crisp the outside. Oh my goodness. I'm sure having millions of dollars is awesome, but those are experiences money cannnot buy. Lord I miss him.

[@donkdonkelly6225]

I was thinking not quite rare enough on the first one off the grill. Just had some blackstrap fajitas for dinner. Nothing better!!

[@eric_bonny_bontrager]

I appreciate how genuine you are Michael. It’s one of the main reason I’ve followed you since your early days at Realtree.

[@rbljackson]

THIS!!

[@ghunter2250]

Exactly . . . Michael, you make it and keep it simple and real everytime, thanks so much for just being you.

[@mikedavis-uj9gx]

your doing it right ! love your show and Blake being from our state 65 years young and cannot wait from year to year to hunt and fish with friends and family .. keep up the good work tat God as provided!!

[@rwilson208]

I have watched you guys for almost 18 years. I was homebound for the first 6 years after my on-the-job accident. Watching shows on the outdoor channel gave me the feeling of being out there with all of you guys on Realtree with Jim Jordan, Jackie Bushman, T bone, you, Nick, and I could go on and on. You guys made my life so much better focused. Thank you for 18 years of being outdoors even when I could not be. God Bless

[@dexterwilliams6049]

When you did the ESPN noise I lost it! 🤣🤣 "they wouldn't believe it!"

[@allenlightner6052]

Blake and Waddy what a pair !! GOD bless you both

[@johnbelusko6347]

I could sit and listen to u….WADDY….. talk all day long. Everything u say comes from straight from the heart. The truth and pure spiritual meanings. Ive watched u since i was a kid and u are a true wise feller. Awesome brother.

[@justyfication1187]

I love that you always incorporate the word of God into everything. I can tell you have the Holy Spirit in you. Thank you Micheal. Happy hunting.

[@tonymcguire4844]

Awesome that you enjoy that Oklahoma deer 🦌 meat. I’m deer hunting and watching it & it’s my state, thanks 😊

[@russgosnell818]

Indeed! I find that most "Finer things" in life are the most simplistic things this life has to offer! Backstraps are awesome 👌

[@cleckler2935]

My 7 year old son just shot his first deer yesterday on youth day in NC. I am so proud of him and I’m going to cook some of the back strap just like this so he can get the real flavor and feeling of what it’s like to harvest your own deer and reap the rewards. Thank y’all for this video

[@kamerontatum7685]

Hard to beat a fresh backstrap! That’s the way I’ve been cooking them for a long time! Love the content 🤘🏼 keep it coming!

[@wingshooterbirddog3990]

Cool to see Waddel and Blake together again, seems like it’s been awhile. Bet that was a fun camp.

[@bvsproductions9021]

Love seeing all the videos! Keeping it real is refreshing to see! No BS! Keep em coming!

[@timrayn9516]

Appreciate you just being straight forward and real. Im a Indiana red neck to the bone 60 yrs old, you make it fun. Thank you!!

[@barrycoomer7121]

Love this video!!! I just sat down with a plate of fresh grilled venison and decided to watch a hunting video this was the first video that I saw. I've been following you for years and you all just keep getting better. Love your humor and your love of the outdoors and the simple life. I just processed my 67th deer and have eaten my share of every one of them. It doesn't get any better than hunting it, taking it, processing it and enjoying it at the dinner table. I think I have a little Montreal Seasoning left in the cabinet, it's good stuff. Also agree with you on the ExMark mowers, we've got 2 of them and they've been going strong for a long time. We love them. Keep up the great videos, we'll be watching here in Kentucky.

[@michaelarms5451]

LOOKS AMAZING MIKE. I'm a old soul and wish we could go back to good old days. I remember growing up watching you and Bill Jordan and Jackie bushman

[@barrychitwood1343]

Thanks for giving God the glory.

[@hoosieroutdoors9022]

Love the shows like this. Behind the scenes less structure and just having a good time! Keep em comin Waddy 👊

[@richardsb3606]

Love this video, I just found your channel today, for years I have been looking for a "got to" way to cook my back strap it seems like every other recipe I tried was just so over complicated and my backstrap still came just "ok", this is so simple and delicious! This is now my "go to" for cooking backstrap.

[@ultimategameoutdoors2002]

Great video! Simple is better. I grew up eating backstrap for breakfast. Sliced a little bit thinner quick dip in flower and fried in cast iron. Hit it with some garlic salt and it's game over... will change your life!

[@rustyhooks3092]

🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌HELL YEAH

[@ingelri2]

I love it! Blake Shelton hunting with Mike Waddell and Blake looks like he wandered out of a Wal-mart camo aisle! 😀😀😀😀 Real down-to-earth people.

[@durrelloverholt6293]

Thanks for sharing!! I’ve been a fan of yours since the early days . We eat a lot of wild game and always open to new ways of cooking it !!

[@juandaholley1416]

I had a peice of backstrap in the freezer. Thank you for teaching me to cook it. Love your channel!

[@MrLTW2009]

My boy Travis (RIP) was the best deer meat cook i’ve ever seen. regardless of if we shot it 2 hours ago or out of the freezer

[@allenwalker1333]

That's it simple Great job on the Grill

[@hoosierhusker5868]

Mouth watering!! Can’t wait to get back in the stand. Great videos Michael. Simple and very informational. Too many people make videos about cooking venison more complicated than necessary. It scares people away from processing and preparing their own meat. Keep the great content coming and I will keep watching.

[@dustymaat2471]

Tried it tonight with fresh back straps.. absolutely delicious 😋

[@tommynorwood5184]

That’s how we roll in the country fresh meat from the woods to the table. Thanks for sharing.

[@FlattieDaddy]

My exmark is a 2007 and it is still mowing like a champ! Enjoyed the video, now I need to intercept some venison!

[@glennperry-ji7fn]

I have been watching your videos since a little boy you spirit of the hunt is with me every hunt i go on its been a pleasure

[@lazyroo6734]

Great simple video Mikey Thanks for being you

[@marianomaldonado1796]

That’s pretty much the exact way I ever cooked deer and elk for my wife for the first time since she was afraid to try it. Now her and the kids move it. You’re right simple sometimes is the best!!

[@1016FISHING]

Very much appreciated on the video. Love some venison meat in everyway. Great recipe as well. Thanks for all that you and the boys do!!!

[@noelslater822]

This is exactly the way I cook 'em too! Wonderful!

[@johnrutherford1650]

Back strap, the most delicious piece of venison a person can have. Absolutely the best! That made me get in the freezer and get some out.

[@cpsokiemom]

thank you for this simple recipe of cooking backstrap. I'm grilling some up tonight. And thanks Blake for the cameo. You guys are the best!!!!!

[@eraab60]

Love it brother, got me some fresh doe backstrap in the fridge right now waiting for tonight.

[@user-hk1ih3qk3o]

Looks fantastic! I could watch your videos everyday because you're genuine and passionate about "Gods renewable resources" . Amen brother!

[@jerryshowens3049]

That looks awesome.

[@lstvphoto]

Now that's what it's all about right there! Good eating!

[@mikedavis-uj9gx]

As we talk doing some back straps myself here in the great state of OKLAHOMA . Michael I watch your show every Sunday the highlight of the week. Wishing you and Blake a Happy Thanksgiving! The most wonderful time of the year!!

[@ryanwest1411]

I really enjoy the content and character of your videos. Raw, real, genuine people enjoying the great outdoors. I’m a huge deer hunter and have been blessed to pass it on to my boys who are 10 & 9. They love the outdoors and beg me to cook venison weekly, we have to harvest at least 6 per year to keep them supplied. They’ve killed 3 so far this year. I’ve Been watching Waddy since his early days at Real Tree and have learned so much. Not just about deer but Turkey as well. Would be a dream to hunt with him. He’s such a cool dude, always happy/smiling/positive. Keep up the good work 💪

[@gregoryclemo6754]

Love your show ,I'm originally from south Africa been in America 27yrs but still miss good old African deer meat as well

[@loydta]

Hell yes that's life.. I'm going in 65 just had a big ole backstrap off a nice KY doe last night.. God is good we just have to open our eyes and look at what he put here for us to enjoy.. DEER IT'S WHATS FOR SUPPER.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

I got a fresh back strap in my fridge right now from a doe 3 days ago. I came here for an idea, but Mr Michael is cooking it exactly how I was gonna do it lol. That Montreal is the deal man. Delicious

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

Backstrap is it!!! Simple is the only way!!! In life and in preparing your back strap 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@tonyedwards5160]

Michael that looks awesome!

[@granterfert7943]

We feasted on my first deer ever last night on this recipe. It was amazing. Even my mother-in-law loved it and told me so.

[@Welchoutdoors88]

You are one person I've always wanted to meet and talk deer huntin about grew up watching u and Dan Fitzgerald

[@daliafarias3591]

Thank you, first time I’ll prepare deer 🦌. Meat, from Texas!!! Happy New year!!🎉

[@robertpage2844]

Its great to see you and Blake hunting again

[@TNsher776]

I'll have to try that, sure looks good and yes simple

[@cornerhighcountry6128]

This is exactly how I prepare my backstraps, except I cook it whole and let it rest before cutting it - that seems to retain the moisture a little better. Cool video guys.

[@scottiebunch]

Spot on perfectly prepared from the field to the table all natural.

[@trevordavis8135]

Really enjoyed this video!

[@mikemason4792]

Outstanding! Thank you for showing us how. Save to my cooking file and subbed.

[@henrybright8531]

Agree 100% with this method/recipe. Weber Chicago Steak is good seasoning too

[@bjtolbert2499]

My kind of people, man! Just good ol down home good folk.

[@davidjewell9197]

Thanks for sharing, looked delicious

[@flyfrod]

I look forward to fresh venison heart every year. I even got my 13 year old son into eating it this past season. For us it’s not about trophies but venison to us in various ways. Keep up the good work.

[@gadawgs8911]

Talk about a Hell of a Huntin camp with Waddy and Blake. Man that would be awesome!!!

[@robh8619]

I’m 55 and shot my first buck ever a couple weeks ago and can’t wait to feast on some of that sausage, blackstrap and ground venison!

[@robh8619]

The part you really should have paid attention to is where I mentioned being over 12 years of age. You may need to go scam tweeners on fortnight or somewhere else….

[@josephsorento1541]

Awesome Video!!

[@freaknbigpanda]

Yes more food videos!!!!

[@markbrady9156]

I am going to make mine this way. Simple is always better, but I've always loved chicken frying mine and covering with 30 weight white gravy haha. Ive also loved watching you from your beginning on realtree. Made me want to have a job like yours. Keep up the great work.

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

That looks so good I’ll love to try that! I’m a newbie hopefully soon I’ll be cooking some up thanks for the videos I’m learning a lot from you and T Bone!

[@jakemitchell1671]

You won't regret going down this path! Perhaps you don't have a father that taught you, but that's ok. One of the best hunters on KZbin is self taught. Stick with it.

[@robertcarawan4868]

Injoy your videos keep them coming from Robert carawan in little river sc hitting deer stand in the morning

[@billward6478]

Got my mouth drooling as I’m eating my Ramen for lunch 🤣

[@lazyroo6734]

WE LOVE THE SIMPLE THINGS ROUND HERE TO BROTHER

[@scottfrederick1614]

Thank you Michael. Appreciate everything you do for sportsmans

[@jasonbice4815]

Looks Delicious for sure, let me know when you are back home and me and my son will come and hang out with you and your family

[@nathanmagdaleno2482]

One of the most down to earth guy out there!

[@djfuzzystump]

Shot my first deer about a fortnight ago with my recurve bow. Just got the meat back from a friend who butchered her for me and I cooked the backstrap just like this (I too love the montreal steak seasonings)- it was awesome.

[@billmcconnell1737]

Nothing better than celebrating the freezer filling experience with your buddies. Back straps on the open fire.

[@kylefitzherbert9381]

Salt and pepper is all venison really needs. And to agree backstrap is king for me. Although i cook it in the smoker sometimes instead of hot and fast. About 30 minutes at 225 in the offset then finish with a quick hot sear. Delicious

[@kko8603]

Living the life. That’s what’s up man, I can’t wait to make my own deer on the grill

[@chadpeak4442]

Mmm looks good 👍

[@poopsmear420]

Mike i love you man! "no homo" keep on keepin on brother preach the gods truth

[@boskinner9328]

Awesome video

[@freedomawesome21]

I’m definitely going to try it this way next weekend.

[@stevetautog880]

I love it when you had that first bite and it was so good that it inspired you to belt out a song I have done that too part of it is due to the expectation of the finished product and then the actual success of cooking it just right,,, so

[@6StringsTheory]

Sir. I am from the city and I wish I could’ve learned this stuff. Thank you for making these videos.

[@jayharry2237]

Never too late to learn my man, I grew up in both city and country, but I relearned hunting after many years of city life. Go get ya a deer man, not too many better feelings in the world than working to put food on your table.

[@mariak4572]

MAN, THAT MEAT LOOKS SO GOOD. MY BROTHER JUST GOT A DOE YESTERDAY, BUT HE IS IN ANOTHER STATE. MY MOUTH IS WATERING.

[@bryanheimann5370]

Finally convinced my wife to try the back straps. It was a big win. I think we may have convinced her to try more wild foods.

[@markramge9885]

Damn fine dinner right there! Straight up delicious.

[@twc6771]

Now that right there is a thing of beauty for sure and some very good eating. 👍

[@thecatfishmouth]

Will try this next deer I get. Thanks Michael!

[@shelbyburgey884]

Michael, I have eaten wild game all my life. I like tike the taste of each animal for it's own flavor. I don't soak any of it. Best video that I have watched for what you said about taste. I could put BBQ sauce on a piece of bread and pretend it was a steak! lol Not my deer meat!! Thanks! That Blake is a pretty decent dude! Tell him hello! Thank you both for the entertainment you both have given me!

[@Summitoutdoorproductions]

Simple enough. My favorite is soak in zesty Italian dressing overnight. Great taste without drowning out the taste of the meat. Keep it real boys!! Good stuff

[@darrellmayo9066]

After watching this Micheal, I had to go to the freezer and get a pack of backstraps out. Thanks theh are delicious

[@Gary06166]

I have to tell you, you are so cool and down to earth! I just retired and if you ever want to hunt in New York I’ll take you in the Catskills anytime, just 90 miles north of NYC.

[@matthewurynowicz9163]

I made deer slopy Joe's last night dam was it good. I will have to try your way when it comes to cooking the steaks. Love it keep it up. More different ways to cook it would be great.

[@jaorte10]

I played cat n mouse with a buck last week during Georgia muzzleloader season. But 3rd time was a charm and I'm gonna try me some Montreal this weekend. Thanks!

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Happy hunting!
