How do you make your Deer Jerky?

I got my mother to make some a few years ago and it was lacking flavor, but I've tried some in the past that was pretty good so I want to give it another shot. Will somebody with some success teach me your ways?

You need a dehydrator

Well I'm not sure the exact seasoning, but it shouldn't be too hard.

i make a lot of beef jerky, just marinate it in allegro hot and spicy and put some tonys and garlic powder on it. i want to make deer jerky as well but not sure what part of the deer i should use.

That's why I came here. Apparently we made it harder than it should be, so I'm looking for advice from people that didn't get it wrong.

I've done it in the oven at 200 for 8-10 hours.
I marinated it in terriyaki sauce for 24 hours prior and just made sure the oven didn't get hot.
I wouldn't cut the slices real thin though. I have learned that the hard way. They come out better when the strips are cut about 1/4 of an inch. I used front shoulder since those usually get cut the heck up.

I put a 30-06 round in him . That usually makes him jerk around quite a bit .

I love marinating in 1 bottle of worcheshire, a little soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and a little brown sugar. Usually marinate it for 12 hours.....but I love that worcheshire flavor. Then crushed black pepper on it and dehydrate. About to make my second batch from this season tomorrow.

How many lbs. do you marinate with that mixture? I love worcheshire also.
Posted on 12/8/11 at 8:02 pm to prostyleoffensetime
Not sure to be honest. However much I can keep submerged in the liquid. Maybe between 2 to 3 pounds? I just cut thin slices and stick it in till it's full.

what part of the deer do yall use?
Posted on 12/8/11 at 9:30 pm to chickman1313
You can use any part that you want. I used some back strap last Tim and it came out great. I bought one of the dehydrators from cabelas . Defrost your meat till it still a little frozen but able to slice it and cut them in no bigger than 1/4 thick pieces. I bought the cabelas brand marinade (terakyi, pepper) they make 5lb batches (3 per pack) just mix the marinade with a little water and throw it in with the meat . Let it sit for 24 hrs and dehydrate. Takes about 4 hrs per batch.

This is close to my recipe. I add some Liquid Smoke to it as well. The brown sugar is key to get the flavors right.

We use the same seasoning as other posters have recommended, but we put ours in a smoker over light smoke at 180-185 degrees for 10-12 hours. If it need be we finish it off in the oven. Actually made pheasant jerky this week and it wasn't half bad, different, but not bad.

Ribs - saw them off, slow smoke for 6 hours, eats just like/better than pork ribs.
Neck - sauce picante'
Backstrap/loin - marinate, cook like steaks. (though I like to fry up a few pieces right after a hunt) Even though I've never been on a hunt yet, my friends don't know how to cook, so I get alot of the meat.
Quarters - sausage
Liver - AND ONIONS, yum.
Everything else - Jerky, anything you soaking for 12+ hours will taste like that thing. (just ask my ole lady ;))
