My boss is bringing over a deer leg and wants me to roast it.  I figure a couple of hours at 350, then check temp.  Anyone know proper temp for medium?  Also curious as to type of wood to use for smoke.  As always, appreciate the advise.

    Sounds like something a boss would do. A friend would bring over the backstrap!

    Take it from a person who shoots at least 3 deer a season and I butcher my own deer.  I would say slice that meat off the bone thin, egg wash, dredge in seasoned bread crumbs and fry in veg oil (it taste like veal cutlets), or I grind it and make meatballs or burgers cooked rare, I also make hot dogs and sausage with added pork for the fat.  Venison does not make good roast in my opinion.  Have fun!
