I recently received a generous supply of venison. One of the packages is labeled simply "VD". Does anyone know what cut of meat this would be? Thanks!

Thank you both! I never would have thought of backstrap, which I think is most likely what it is. I didn't even realize you could add a photo, but I tried peeling off more of the paper just now to take one, and unfortunately its good and well stuck on there. It is literally a frozen rectangular log of meat right now and not very wide (about 2-3 inches), which makes me think you guys are right. Now time for me to figure out how to cook it without ruining it! :)

If the "B" is identifying a cut it's most likely backstrap. When venison is butchered this is one of the most tender cuts.

Thank you for your reply! Omg, I didn't even consider brisket. Currently, it's frozen into a rectangular log about 6-inch long, 2.5-inch thick. I managed to unwrap enough of the paper to see that it looks like one hunk of meat.

A photograph of the piece would have been helpful, but based on this description, it is likely to be backstrap as pierino suggests.
Just do a Google image search for "venison backstrap" and see if yours is similar.
If it is not, I highly suggest you post a photo to elicit more accurate responses to your inquiry.
Good luck.
