Hellooooooooooo Demerelle,
Hope it works out. As you probably know, those game cuts are generally quite lean. Farm-raised may have more corn fat, but still...that's an issue with smoking. Gotta have fat.
The solution is "barding," an ancient English word. Sooooooooooo, you can wrap (Bard!) that roast with fat of another animal, like pig. Now you can have tender bbq.
But.....there's a lot of dudes (and dudettes) on this forum who may have additional (and better) ideas.
Hey, keep us posted on that big elk.
