Deer Jerky

Laura and Mary used to help Pa dry jerky in the big tree stump with hickory chips so they could have the meat all winter. My husband hunts and so we used deer meat to make our own jerky!! The girls had fun making it and its a yummy healthy snack.

Supplies needed
  • Deer, elk or beef
  • seasonings (found at sporting good stores)
  • a dryer, or over
  • a jerky gun or you could use your hands
Each of the girls got to take a turn squirting out the meet.
I love this picture were A is plugging her nose!


It takes about 4 hours to dry so I had some already for them to taste.
They all LOVED it and ate it up.

    Very interesting!!! The jerky gun makes you sound like a professional - but I love the concept so you don't have to handle the meat so much! Are there any pictures of the meat before going into the gun??? What's that look like! Not sure I want to see them - but the finished product looks great!!! (: FUN activitiy! And lets them see how jerky is made - cool!!!

    The jerky is the best!!! I've never tasted anything that compares. Janeil should go into a jerky business! :)
    My girls thought the jerky gun was pretty cool.
