Yeah not exactly.you cut out shoulders and back strap neither come close to center of neck.there is no meat in neck anyone keeps

Huh? Neck roasts are just about my favorite thing off a deer

Who cares .I throw it away.all of em throw it away.

I don’t know if anyone cares but you should try one sometime, they’re delicious. Just glad you know they’re there now. Love a neck roast

It’s a bad idea. Period

Used to hunt with an old black man and if he needed a doe for meat he would shoot it in the head. Bucks he always shot behind the shoulder.

Now I would not advise anyone to do that, and I have never attempted it myself. But that’s what he always did so he could get as much meat as possible.

Have taken many risky shots in last 35yrs of hunting.dont care what y'all think.growing up hunting public land you take what deer give you.different ball game sitting in woods with no shooting house or tree stands most times.
Have shot 4-5 deer in neck all drop.none on purpose just where deer stopped after grunting and what I had.
No special place they fold up.zero back strap or shoulder damage.even y'all that know how to cut all the way up neck getting out that neck meat with your back strap.
Zero meat loss

Neck roast is the best cut behind inner loins. I have 3 in the freezer. Ate one last week. I avoid neck shots for this very reason. Way more meat on neck than a shoulder.
