We clean the kitchen island so it&#8217;s sparkling and free of clutter, and I line up knives, cutting boards, a sharpening stone, butcher&#8217;s freezer paper, tape, and a sharpie. Mike brings me quarters at a time, and I cut and trim and package and label. Meanwhile, Mike cooks venison tenderloin for dinner. I trim the deer meticulously, so that nothing goes to waste. I save the bones for broth, I save the fat to mix with birdseed for the doves and sparrows, and I save a few random scraps for a fox that is living in our neighbor&#8217;s haystack. My favorite part, though, is what I do with the rib cage. I leave the meat on the rib bones, and I leave the rib bones long. I cut between each rib, to separate them, and then hang these meaty arcs on the clothesline to air dry into jerky. Wild-harvested, sun-dried, organic, raw venison jerky-covered rib bones! Charlie LOVES them. They are his special treat through the winter.<br \/>\nHe is enjoying one in the photos above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>photos taken November 2016 Charlie, having the refined tastes he does, eats a lot of venison.
