I always thought that the tenderloin and back straps were different cuts, with the tenderloin located inside the body cavity near the spine and the back straps running along both sides of the spine.  

Am I mistaken- is tenderloin and backstrap the same thing?

You are right. Tenderloin- small and on the inside of the body. Backstraps run along the spine.

The little ones inside the body are tough as shoe leather.  If I bother to cut them out we just toss them into the burger grind.

Really?

Wow, I haven't experienced that.  You just have to cut them out immediately after you hang the deer, so they don't dry out over night.

In my world, hey get taken from the deer, washed off in cold water, and plunked right into the Speedies marinate for the next days meal.

You are doing it wrong.  Those are the most tender pieces of meat on the animal.  Hence the name tenderloins.

How did you prepare them?  That's the filet of the deer, you're the first I've heard to say they were tough.

What the hell?  That is the most tender cut of me on a deer or any animal for that matter.
