RE: stew meat..worth the work?
I do my own butchering and cut all the hind quarters into boned steak. I do the same for the back straps and tenderloins. The front shoulders are good for some steaks and the rest stew meat and grind as well as the neck. The smoker guy can take any meat or grind and turn it into all the stuff I said in the other post. It is wonderful

Surely you guys jest! Neck roast, and other deer meat, other than tenders, and straps, are well worth the effort! If I'm going to invest in killing it, I'm gonna eat it! Had a great neck roast stew for lunch today at work! Buuuuurrrrpppp!

I butcher my own deer and utilize as much meat as possible. You gotta do that animal justice if you are going to takes its life. It may take a little longer but the end result if well worth it.

RE: stew meat..worth the work?
I like to get as much meat as I can off the deer so I am not wasting a lot. As for stew meat. I really don't use a particular area of the deer for meat. I decide as I go along whether I will cut for steaks, jerky, burger sausage or stew. I really don't like deer fat. I usually cut as much as I can off the deer.

Except for the skeleton and skull, whatever I don't keep for eating goes to my two Black Labs. They're eating machine and it saves me a little on dog food . Happiness is a young dog with half of a deer's leg in it's mouth enjoying a good chawin', joy is two of them in the same predicament.
