Paul do you ever do anything with the neck other than pulled deer? I kept the neck as one piece off of this past season's deer and as it is quite large I can get 2 or 3 good sized roasts (bone in) out of it.
Normally I debone and gind but I would like to try a few different things.
First up will be the easiest -- crock pot pulled deer for sandwiches.
Wannabebwana (Marty) suggested keeping bone in neck roasts, if I wasn't worried about CWD, which we are not - as he stated they are great for soups.
So, I do have 3 bone in neck roasts in the freezer, which we haven't got to yet !
Think I'll smoke one, in the summer & then finish in the oven or crock pot, too.
Up to date, they have been slow cooked & pulled, then used in a variety of ways.
