  • Summary

  • Tyler and Erika take a field trip to a taxidermist’s shop, then talk with an ancestral skills expert who collects roadkilled deer for meat, hides, and bones. We’re pondering what it is that gets memorialized or honored by these practices, what it means to be a hunter or a scavenger, and the long history of humans finding ways to use the bodies of deer. Along the way: deer stories, poetry, songs, and more.
