Ate a pile of neck roast,deer ribs growing up.i do the shoulders,hams,back straps,inside tenderloins now .you can do that without ever gutting it.if that isn’t enough I just kill another one.
My mama would boil the necks and shoulders until done,then chip up the meat,and cook in a Iron skillet with peppers and onions and she called it deer hash.and serve with some crackling corn bread.it was a real treat when got home from hunting all day.
Neck roast > sirloin roast in crockpot or pressure cooker because all the collagen cooks down making it moist. Roasts from the hams or shoulders are always dry if you don't add oil or fat.
I got a neck roast out of one of mine this year. Trying to decide how to cook it. My uncle always cooked it down in the crockpot and made bbq out of it but that Mississippi roast looks good.
