We did a pulled venison roast in our pressure cooker, a couple weeks ago. Simply amazing! I love pulled pork, but the cool thing about venison, is it can be eaten cold (at work, no heat source). Because it is so lean, you don't get the fat settled on top. Just wonderful

Howdy folks,
I tend to cook a lot and in many different ways.  I've read a few posts on here that seemed to indicate that with slow cooking in a crock pot, venison could break down enough to be pulled apart like a slow roasted pork shoulder or beef chuck. 
I've tried cooking venison in a crock pot a few different times, low setting for 4-6 hours and the cuts have not broken down to become easily shredded.  I've tried mainly some cuts from the hind quarters.  The venison was great with the seasoning I've tried, but I'm just not sure if this is possible with venison, whether I need to use specific cuts, or if there is just not enough fatty and connective tissue in venison to break down like this. 

I typically submerge a few chunks of well trimmed venison in water with onions, celery, garlic, a few other seasonings, and let it cook slowly.  I don't want to go too long for fear that it might dry out.

Has anyone ever had luck in achieving pulled venison?  Can it be done with only specific cuts (I butcher my own).  How long do you typically cook in a crock pot? 

Thanks for any suggestions!
Dave

Add a can of beef broth to the water for older bucks that can be gamey.

Put leftover in bbq sause put sandwiches.
Pull apart leftover for enchiladas.

I rather piss in the wind,then have piss down my back.

Pressure cooker all the way......

I used to do it in the slow cooker, but recently got a pressure cooker and it is awesome.  Way quicker to get everything breaking down.

Yep, longer is the key.  Meat doesn't dry out from the duration of cooking, it dries out from the temperature (pressure cooking is a different beast).  You can cook a thin deer steak on a 500 degree fire for five minutes and have shoe leather.

I have better results with a dutch oven in the oven than I do with the crock pot for some reason, maybe it's the temp or the tighter fitting lid or a more uniform temp inside the oven.

1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 wild game roast

Crockpot on low for 10 hours.

Serve on buns and top with coleslaw and hot sauce.
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
