If you are looking for another alternative for your venison – jerky is the way to go. It is full of nutrients, rich in flavor and easy to make.  You can marinate strips of beef or wild game and hang on a jerky hanger – dry in the oven or in a smoker.  Or you can use ground meat with some jerky seasonings added, put the meat mixture into a Jerky Cannon or Jerky Gun and shoot out the jerky onto a rack & pan.  Slide the pan into the oven or dehydrator and dry for 3-5 hours.  

Jerky is a simple and fun way to use the extra meat you brought home from the field.  It makes a great snack and freezes well too.
