Some good recipes for deer (or beef) jerky.....

I got this list from a very helpful person over 10 years ago. Got some great results with it and then lost it a few years ago. Out of the blue, I found it backed up on a old floppy (yes, floppy). Anyway, some of this stuff is worth sharing.

Your own curing and smoking process apply of course, but some of these might be a good change of pace from the same ol' brown sugar and soy sauce.

Would the 1/4 pound jerky figure be finished weight or raw meat weight?
That does make a world of difference. I used to make a whole london broil worth and it would yield just a few ounces more than a 1/4# IIRC...

Whoops. Should have clarified that. It's finished weight, but your mileage will vary of course. Me, I never use 1/4 teaspoon of anything. I load up
