James, good eating there! I have always boned out the shoulders befor cooking, but have ate othe venison with bone-in, someone elses.
I would either pressure cook, with seasoning,carrots potatoes, celery, turnips and such, gooood eating. Use a cooking time such as for a beef chuck roast.
Or you could cut-up into stew chunks and do an all day or night stew in crockpot. My recipe has stewed tomatoes and tapioca pudding in it.
Or for a traditional type meal, dry rub sesaon, overnight in fridge, put on grill or smoker and enjoy!
