Medium for venison is 160F. This is also the temperature at which any bacteria is killed. It is a very important internal temperature for ground venison. Venison burgers should always be coked to a minimum of 160F. However, if you are cooking whole cuts like stakes or roasts a lower internal temperature (140F) is recommended to enhance flavor and tenderness.

Venison is delicate. Most complaints about venison being "gamey" spring from over cooking or leaving too much fat on the meet when butchering. If butchered properly and cooked to no more than medium rare the stakes or chops will not have that "gamey" flavor. If you like your meet cooked well you will not want to fry, roast, or grill whole cuts of venison. In that case adapt recipes that call for braising (cook long, slow, and wet) like bourguignon or sauerbraten.

Enjoy.
