The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be. Is it wild?

Yep it is wild. Keep the lid on the cooking implement?

Slow cooker with red wine, thyme and rosemary, salt and pepper for 8 hours at least. Will come out fantastic - add some cream before serving and maybe add a bit of flour to thicken sauce.

Best way to get venison tender is slow cook, yes it takes longer but the end results are amazing

long and slow for a casserole but the old Venison is tough thing is getting harder for me to accept. Because its so lean then it either needs very little cooking or allot, however I find that almost all the animal can be cut into tender steaks and what's left can be minced there is very little that actually needs to be casseroled. Even shank meat minced then with nothing added just form into a pattie and fry like a medium rare steak and its gorgeous.

A pressure cooker is the best way of tenderising any cut of meat. Hands down!

You don't. You cook the curry as you would a stew or casserole.

Nobody really said is was tough, the flavours absorb better when cooked a while I think, plus it certainly needs some additions to make it tasty, otherwise it can be utterly bland .

I add Garlic when using Slow Cooker. Braise meat first to reduce shrinkage. Leftovers mince up fine for Shepherds Pie, Rissoles. Agree it's bland by itself!

Marinate overnight in coca cola(yes!), rinse well (discard coke) & cook. The coke takes away the real "gaminess" and tenderises the meat.
Bland venison, mmmmmmmmmmmm must be a South Island thing ;)

Must be, but then I'm a girl, my man thinks it's wonderful, but I don't. I only eat the fillet steaks. BUT. I have invented a crockpot recipe that I eat a little of ;)

Long and slow. We have venison all the time (yes South Island stuff too ;). not bland). Long and slow is the secret. I curry it all the time and its fine.
About 5 hours in the crockpot is perfect.

Curry it to hide the bland?

I can not understand why some add all these different things to wild meat to 'tenderize' it or make it taste better. The gaminess of it is the best taste in my opinion.
