Venison shoulder roast - suggestions?

I have a 4-Lb shoulder roast of venison. Any suggestions for how I should cook it?

Stew only if you have to cook it right now this second. Otherwise roast it - 325°F, 25 minutes per pound, brushed generously with butter and wrapped in foil but pull the foil back for the last 20 mins. Serve with gravy and redcurrant jelly (or similar).

Even better if you have time (an extra 12 hours) to marinade it - cover it in wine with carrots, onions, celery, peppercorns, parsley, bay leaf, mace; turn a couple of times while marinading, then roast as I advised above and reduce the marinade by boiling to make a fantastic sauce.
