Hope I haven’t left anyone out. Thank you all for your suggestions.
I can’t eat all of it in the next 12 months, which is about the longest meat for people should be frozen, and I certainly don’t want it to be wasted, so the dog will get some of it.

Perhaps donating it to some worthy family who may be needing some extra food. This might help them. That would be much better than going to the dogs (the dogs won't appreciate it as much as the stuff they drag in from the outside... LOL...).
I've got half-a-mind (LOL...) to go out and do some deer hunting myself, just to donate it to some people who might need it...
Sure you can. Deer in the morning deer in the evening and deer in the afternoon. LOL!!! 24/7 deer.

Can it! Keeps for years and years - Taste is fantastic!
I process about 2-3 deer a year - Bones (uncooked) to our three dogs, freeze butterfly steaks, ground venison, make absolutely fantastic sausage, freeze roasts and some steaks and then about half of it gets put in jars and pressure canned as venison chunks and ground. Every year during September, I clean out the freezer and can whatever we won’t be eating before deer season.
Stews, soups, casseroles, chili - easy and quick from canned. If you absolutely have to feed some to the dog, use canned that is several years old. I figure canned that is 6-7 years old before dogs would get it.

I've personally never heard this and have had frozen meat for over two years that tastes every bit as good as any other frozen meat that has hung around for a lot less time. If you properly vacuum pack the meat it will stay fine for more than a year... If I got that much Venison from someone, I'd grind it up with some pork or perhaps some sirloin and make some good eatin'!
