Venison question

[wes w]

I've read alot of topics here on venison.  I really never got a clear answer on bone in or not.  I've been ask to smoke a whole ham and shoulder.   Got some great tips, but should I cut the bone out of the ham?

Not sure this is where this goes, but thought I'd start here.

 Hope everyone had a "Smoking" day!!

I have never made a ham but I have read some info on the process and I read that making sure you get the cure rubbed in, on and around the bone is very important as this is a trouble area for curing,  also I think it would depend on how easily you would want to slice it,

I like my pork hams with the bone in cause I always use it for soup, I'm not sure how that would work for a deer ham

I hope you get some answers from some one experienced in this stuff as I am curious too
