Yeah, that's the pleasant part compared to brain tanning- finest venison steaks and roasts in the world and the jerky is awesome, too. Since I try to salvage all the sinew I can for other purposes- before and after butchering so as to get the longest- there's never any gristle and no waste.

I'd love to have done that, but, uh, we got four inches of snow, once, in Kerrville, in 1985.
