Smoked Deer Ham

Ingredients

• 1 (5 to 8 pound) deer ham, trimmed neatly
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Italian dressing
• 1 tablespoon cayenne red pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1/2 cup soft butter

Instructions

1. Put ham in large container; cover with mixture of all remaining ingredients. (Can slice holes in meat so it can soak inside better, or pierce completely with fork.) Cover well; soak overnight or about 10 hours. Rotate often, about every 2 or 3 hours to marinate.
2. Put on smoker and let smoke for 6 hours; turn and smoke 4 more hours or until tender.
