involving smothering in BBQ sauce and baking covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The taste was OK, even good, but the meat was tough.

I leave them for the Yotes. Too much fat to meat and the fat tastes yuck!!!! There is not enough meat to bother with IMHO. Go ahead try them I am sure you will end up doing what I do in the end. Somethings you just got to try.

Using a pot with lid large enough to cover the ribs with water add a heaping tablespoon of baking soda,boil 20-30 minutes.
Remove and rinse thououghly, return to pot cover with cold water,salt to taste,cook on low until done.
Now for the secret to good ribs,let cool then place pot in the frig or freezer until the taller grease on top turns white and firm,run knife around sides and lift off and discard.note:there will be much more than you would think.
This is the stuff that gives deer ribs a bad waxy,strong flavor.
The ribs are now ready to prepare using your favorite recipe.

Going to try ribs for the first time soon.
I've got 6 racks of really good meaty ribs from three large bucks.
I'm going to use the same approach as I do with pork and beef ribs:
-Cut into managable sections.
-My favorite secret rub and refridgerate 24 hours.
-4 hours in the smoker at 180 degress with a combination of cherry and hickory.
-Remove the sections, lather in BBQ sauce of choice, wrap in foil.
-Back in the smoker for another 1-2 hours at 180 degrees.
I'll post how them come out.
