Venison pot roast slow cooker- meat looks light colored???

[Scooter]

Hey guys- I'm slow cooking a fresh roast from the hind quarter and three hours in it looks really light colored... Is this normal? I know it has another two hours to go but I thought it would look more like beef

I've always found coues meat to be a little lighter.

It's fine. Coues meat, especially from a spike is typically light. I have no idea why.

It was delicious- tasted just like beef... My wife is an awesome cook despite the fact she doesn't eat red meat!

yup my elk was the same way.

Coues is so much better than beef

What all do you put in with it when you cook it? I use either a pork fat or bacon layer in the bottom, then the meat, sprinkle diced garlic over that, layer of red onion and another layer of fat or bacon.

Sear it in a frying pan first too!
