Hunter's Circle [Festival Crafting for Hunters]

Wyndelin worked from the neck down on the young elk. His fangs ripped through the flesh along the stomach from the neck all the way down. He slowed once he moved past the sternum, wary of knicking the sack that held the internal organs. Not that it mattered much o him being a wolf. He'd happily dine on the liver and other guts but he didn't want to have to clean them off the hide. Flikkr moved to help him. The birds sharp beat taking care of the more skillful cuts around each of the elks ankles.

As he worked another man joined them and Wyndelin grinned as he recognized Cairo. "Cairo, good to see you! Absolutely! I can't wait for the competition though I admit I'm a bit nervous. I wonder what we'll be doing and who our teams will be." Being a loner he hadn't entered with a particular team but it would be fun to hunt with Cairo again as well as meet other hunters. "If any of you need my fire you're welcome to it." Wyndelin pulled the flesh back along the belly to reveal the meat of the chest and side. He moved to take a few more strips of meat off the chest. Flikkr moved to help him to get thin strips. He then threaded these strips on sticks and set them near the fire to dry.

He grinned at the pup that moved to join them with his rabbit. "You mean the skinning? It's simple in theory. You first cut around the throat of the animal and try just to chew through the skin. If you get some of the meat that's ok but you don't want to cut all the way through. You want to give it a try and I'll walk you through it?"
