Ingredients:  
1 whole deer tenderloin
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. season salt
1 tsp. cajun seasoning
4 strips uncooked bacon
Directions:
Directions:
Cut 2 splits lengthwise down the tenderloin (splits need to be about as deep as a piece of bacon is wide).

Mix together the garlic salt, season salt, and cajun seasoning and spread evenly over the tenderloin-even into the splits (give or take a little on the seasonings-they are estimates).

Put 2 strips of bacon lengthwise into each split for a snug fit.

Wrap tenderloin in aluminum foil leaving the top open to allow smoke in. Then place aluminum foil into 13x9 in. pan into smoker.

Smoker should be set between 300º-350º. Smoke for 2-3 hours, do not leave in too long or meat will dry out. Use whatever wood preferred to smoke--hickory and apple are the usual.
