No it won't spoil the meat. I reach up as far as I can and cut it off.

Dittos to what Johnnie said, If you are caping a deer and you don't want to ruin the skin, it is no big deal to just get as far up as you can, and let it go. The important thing is to empty the thoracic and abdominal cavities so the meat can begin to cool off.

It won't spoil the meat, but if you forget and leave it in when you cut up the neck meat for the grinder, it will make your hamburger crunchy.
