I saw my buddy wrap a deer loin this way over the weekend and I really thought it was a very clean, effective way to wrap a loin/tenderloin in bacon. This method can be used with any loin such as pork, beef or deer. I do not normally season the loin much before wrapping as the bacon provides a good amount salt. The loin can be rubbed with BBQ rub if you like but with this deer loin we did not want to muddle with the pure deer flavors.
