BTW - The young man in the photo below is my son with his first ever elk (a 5x5) that he took on this hunt, I was so happy for him on his harvest that I barely contained my tears of joy.
Nice!! Congrats to you and your son, I bet you're both hooked now.
And good on you for rolling your own dehydrated food. One of these days, I'm gonna give that a go.
How did you dry it?
