Roasts or Burger?

No roasts. Steaks and burger.

Deer, backstraps and tender loins are always cut into steaks. Most everything else goes into bacon burger.
Elk, if it can be cut into a steak, done. Everything else is burger.
No roasts in our house. Found that we always ended up grinding them up later.

I just made #175 burger and #75 of sausage. I keep the best, grind the rest....except lately I've been making 30 pounds into chile Colorado every year and freeze drying it.

Another good option if you’re overloaded on ground is to make a big ol batch of barbacoa style shredded meat with shoulder, trim, and neck meat. Slide it into burger bags a pound or so each and refreeze to use later. It’s super easy to thaw in the fridge or toss in water for a couple hours and make tacos, hash, pita pockets or my kids favorite sloppy does. It takes other seasonings really well when reheating in a pan.
