Missed the 2014 season due to broken leg. Made up for it this season. A XBow doe and 2 8 Point bucks w/7mm-08. Deer 1 was Summer Sausage/back straps. #2 was Back Straps, sausage and Jerky cut. #3 was Jerky cut and Back Strap. I have found that Alegro Marinades do a great job on my jerky. Game Tame is one, Hot and Spicy is another. I do a gallon Zip lock bag of meat+ 1 bottle of marinade for a couple days in the refrigerator manipulated to insure contact. Excellent results. Can leave longer a bit-OK. Put in Dehydrator until done to your specs. I have only gotten rave reviews!
