Deer Jerky

Nolan drew out for the deer hunt in Wyoming this year. He shot this "nice buck" on the opening day after missing a larger deer in the morning...likely story. Nolan had anticipated this for many months so we were happy for him. I do not necessarily understand it, but am trying to like the idea of it because he loves it so. It is easier now that the boys' are older to let him leave us for a few weekends in October. My reward will be when they get old enough to go with their Dad and I get the weekend to myself. Of course, Cy has vowed to never shoot an animal and Cole is already volunteering. Although, I bet Cy doesn't bat an eye about eating the deer jerky. I told Cy he does not have to hunt, but he's going along for the weekend regardless:)
