I started doing this with deer shoulders awhile back and it saves a ton of butchering time and makes super tasty, fork tender meat. Think pulled pork, but seasoned venison …

Here’s a good recipe but you can season it however you like and just follow the cooking instructions. Enjoy 😋

 
I do the same thing, but i debone it to save freezer space. I cut everything off the bone and keep it in as large of pieces as possible then vacuum seal it all together.
 
On occassion I will take a hind quarter off a small deer and Inject it with a marinade of my choosing and put a dry rub on the outside and layer a couple pieces of bacon on top and wrap in tinfoil and slow oven roast at 180-200 degrees for 6-8 hours. Always turns out to be some of the best eating venison.

Right. If it’s cooked properly you can just slide the shoulder blade out easily and vac pack the leftovers. 👍
 
How do you freeze the whole shoulder or hind quarter vacuum seal or wrap?

I’ve never owned a vacuum sealer. I’ve planned to get one for years, We usually used ziplock freezer bags and/or freezer paper. I normally turn hams into steaks, but my dad always insists on at least one leg roast. Last year, it only needed to be frozen until Christmas, so I made do with a tightly wrapped double garbage bag.

Dude. Get a chamber vac and 4mil bags. I did that ziploc bs for way too long before I finally bought a vp215. Best ~$1000 I ever spent

Interesting. What does the Bone-in do to the gaminess in the flavor in this recipe?
