re: Deer Neck Roast

Sounds like you have the right plan. I've done pretty much what you described, except brown the outside then cook in the crock pot. Fall apart tender. It is really good meat, but since I shoot anything not destined for the wall in the neck, I don't get many neck roasts. With your kitchen skills, you are going to enjoy the outcome. And my teenage boys scarf it up, so if you need help eating it, I will be glad to send them over.
