Best to keep it simple as there shouldn't be a need to cover/mask for the best cut of meat on the deer. Rub it with olive oil, season how you like steak (salt, pepper, onion power, garlic powder, maybe a touch of red pepper is a good start), or use italian salad dressing as a marinade, cook on the grill until medium rare at most. The ends will cook a bit more, which is good for those that don't like their meat red (ie, picky kids, etc).

We're in the middle of a blizzard and I just cooked the loins out of my 9 year old son's first buck last night.
