This is the best venison I have ever had. You won't find an easier one either.

Note: Recipe is not ?exact science? A little of this or that, whatever is to your liking. This is the way I did it??

(2) Front shoulders with flap meat attached. (bone-in silver skin on)
(1) Can to ½ can of Coca Cola
(1) Lb Bacon.
(2) Beef bouillon cubes
I just used salt and pepper. Any rub or spice would work well.
All of the onions, carrots, celery, etc you want.

4-5 (small) 6-7 (large) hours at 200F in oven or large roaster covered. Meat is done when bone pulls out easy. If you want to brown it the last 20 min. or so, uncover and broil.
Other ideas for liquid would be orange juice, beer, apple juice, etc

Do it once the way I did it. Let me know what you think.....

Ditto on the front shoulders. Got some good meat in there if you know how to cook it. My dad is the front shoulder king at the deer camp. He cooks his in a dutch oven with taters, onions, carrots, and other veggies. Cook till you can pull the bone out with tongs. Ummm good. Makes some good BBQ samachez that way too.

To spice things up a little, add a can of rotel and a cap full of crab boil.

Got a buddy who should be a chef in New Orleans that cooks a front shoulder like this, he uses the dispoable aluminum pans and after cooking in oven let's it cool and pulls off the meat shred if needed. He then refrigerates it usually until next day. He lights his charcoal grill adds a few pieces of hickory and places the covered pan on the grill to warm up, after it is hot, he removes the cover and lets the smoke get in. You would swear he grilled this meat and you would also think it the tenderest backstrap you ever put in your pie hole. Try it, you'll love it.

I tried it last night and it is good. I was out of bacon, so I just added olive oil and basil instead. The shoulder meat gets tender as soon as it reseases from the bone. I have 3 shoulders left and I may do something like this with all of them.
