JagMagMan? how do you cook a deer neck so its edible? every one Ive seen cooked was about like trying to eat a nylon mop. As for the post, there isnt that much good meat on a deer anyway. If you mess a little up, just shoot some more. I think in some places where the limit is one folks tend to try to glean every scrap of it. The limit here is twelve and most of my friends will eat six or eight deer apiece a year. Shoulders get slow cooked in roasting bags, backstraps get grilled, hams are for smoking as bbq, or ground for sausage. Two or three get jerked every year. As long as you dont blow up the backstraps or hams you havent lost much.
