Sodium Nitrate. It will drawl out the gameness of the buck meat as well as kill micro organisms. The meat is from the back half of the buck. It will add flavor as well there are combinations of herbs/spices/garlic etc to add to the brine as well. A zillion ways to cook venison. I prefer Doe meat. Not as much seasoning to mask the testosterone. We have a couple Buck hams in the ice box. Waiting for the mood to guide our ambitions.
Google "Lem Cure". it is a curing seasoning for game protein.
