We go through about 3 a year, but even in Ga you'd be amazed and folks stills scared of it. What they oughta be afeard of is what they buy at Food Lion and Piggly Wiggly, especially the burger that comes in already ground.
What fresh Hell is this?

I used to cut all my steaks/chops while processing but now leave the individual boned out pieces whole until I'm ready to cook. I just started saving the shanks whole for braising but haven't cooked any that way yet. I also used to experiment more with marinades and various recipes, but anymore I tend to just brine overnight as a whole roast, give a light smoke on the pellet grill, sear in a cast iron pan, and slice into medallions to serve. A couple of recent cooks from this year's whitetails (backstrap and tenderloin): I do enjoy some blue cheese crumbles on top of steaks as well as a little horseradish on the side...

Hahahaha, I digress, but butchering day, our dogs got plenty of scraps & bones. Next day, Ivy (brown & white) was in her kennel, while we were at work. Deb came home to this;

Ohfff. Thankfully I'm retired and that isn't an issue. The dogs were happy with today's kill too.

Yep, kept both necks, 1 I had started to trim a little, before changing my mind. Original thought was for deer barley soup, but ...................

I've tried cooking it different ways, never had a piece I would call tender. I eat it but not crazy about it. Some meatball and chili dishes with it are passable though.
