Shut up and take my money!!!

We do a lot of beef burger jerky in our dehydrator. Probably 20-30lbs a year give or take. Last Christmas, she put together baskets for my family that had her homemade jerky, jams/jellies, and other hand made knickknacks.

Just tell me where to send my check ;)
 
One of my favorite things about hunting season is the jerky. That’s about the only way I will eat a duck or a goose. Pheasant is my favorite. I always use commercial seasoning so I know I have the correct amount of cure in it. Nesco is my go to, but there are a lot of good brands to choose from.
 
I do a pile of jerky every year, it's all ground and run through a jerky gun, I find that easier to chew and the grandkids love it, I can't make it as fast as they eat it, some kids like the flats and some like the round or as they call them the rods, I mix about 70% either elk or moose with about 30% ground beef, each batch starts out about 7 lbs and I use only Cabela's jerky mix seasonings, cracked black pepper and garlic, teriyaki and hickory are the favorites in our house, for a treat sometimes i'll do salmon jerky with a home made marinade of soy sauce, pure maple syrup, pepper, brown sugar, hickory liquid smoke, leave it marinade about 2 days in a zip lock bag in the fridge, just knocks your socks off.

Try Crockett Creek marinade & blazin' cajun spice mix. Order online thru their website. Been using it for venison over 20 years now and price has tripled but you won't be disappointed. If you like it hot, add a little Louisiana Hot Sauce and black pepper before dehydrating.
 
Just threw another batch in about a couple hours ago, antelope teriyaki flavoured with the round nozzle on the jerky gun or like my granddaughter calls them, yummy jerky rods papa, should be out by noon, most of this batch will get packaged up and dropped off over the next 3 days at the local farmers around here that have let us hunt on their land again this fall, just my way of saying thanks for allowing the access, our season here close on Saturday at dark so will do a couple more hunts and call it a year, well for big game anyway, got 4 months of coyote hunting to look forward to now, warm up the foxpro and the .223

Waldedw, can't say I ever had moose sticks, but they sure look good. It's been a while since I had any elk jerky, my neighbor gave me some a few years ago.

Once a year I have pepper sticks made from duck and goose fillets. Never a merganser in the mix. This year was spicy Italian and they are delicious. Anybody care to trade? Would love to try what you have. PM me.
Brdslayer, unfortunately I don't have any jerky left, lol.. it doesn't last long around here. Between my boys and friends stopping by it goes pretty fast. Next year I would be glad to send you some whitetail jerky if you want. Goose jerky is some of my favorite to eat.
