2 2014 HUNTING GUIDE
DEER JERKY Total Time: 16 hr 15 min Prep: 15 min Inactive: 4 hr Cook: 12 hr
Yield: 4 ounces Level: Easy
Place the meat in the freezer for 1 hour, so that it will be easier to cut. Slice the meat with the grain as thin as humanly possible.
Ingredients
Mix brine ingredients right in a resealable plastic bag (placing the bag inside a large plastic container will make this easier.)
2 pounds red meat (although you can use elk, bear, venison, wild boar or just about any other critter you can hunt. I stick with beef such as top round steak, flank steak or brisket)
Place meat strips in brine. Move the meat around so the marinade is evenly distributed around it. Seal bag, working out as much air as humanly possible.
Brine • 2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce • 2/3 cup soy sauce • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper • 2 teaspoons onion powder
Directions
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes • 1 tablespoon honey
(405) 273-9554
Lay bag flat in the plastic container and refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours. Remove meat from the brine and drain on cooling racks. Discard the brine.
When the meat is dry place it inside Blo-hard 3000 and set fan to medium. Leave overnight or for at least 12 hours. If you don’t find yourself in possession of a Blo-hard 3000, place strips directly on oven racks. Heat oven to lowest setting and use a blob of foil as a wedge to hold door ajar. Oven-dry overnight or until meat reaches a consistency of your liking. Store in zip-top bag or jar in a cool dark place for 30 or 40 years or until fuzzy stuff starts to grow on it.

Ten Commandments of Hunting Safety 1. Treat every firearm with the same respect due a loaded firearm.
7. Never climb a fence or tree, or jump a ditch or log, with a loaded firearm.
2. Control the direction of your firearm’s muzzle.
8. Never shoot a bullet at a flat, hard surface or water.
3. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. 4. Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. 5. Unload firearms when not in use. 6. Never point a firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
9. Store firearms and ammunition separately. 10. Avoid alcoholic beverages or other mood-altering drugs before or while shooting.
