Usually what I have seen described as deer bacon is actually a mixture of ground lean venison and ground pork fat mixed with cure and flavoring.
After mixing, it is formed into a loaf and smoked. After cooling it is sliced and packaged.
It can be very good and will have a bacon flavor, but the texture is entirely different than pork belly bacon. -
Just as processhead described above that is the recipe I have had in the past for deer “bacon.”

I definitely recommend the imitation bacon flavoring. My younger brother wanted to try it so I made some with venison and added the imitation bacon flavor, turned out very good and now he wants more. I told him just as soon as he supplies the venison!
