Enjoy Elk Jerky – this recipe is really good and I have made it for years.

I have been so busy this year with work I haven’t even gone hunting. I haven’t posted much on SMF either (did some cheese and that’s about it) – the elk I have was from a trip 2 years ago (looked great in the vacuum packs)

Time to get the smoker going and relax a little during the holidays.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

More pics to come.


Using the excellent outdoor refrigerator - I love days like this for preparing meat.


 
Lookin good, like jerky, but not sure I could cut up blackstrap for jerky. Gosh I love blackstrap. Only had elk once, and have been looking forward to my 2nd time ever since.

Must have Christmas on the brain. When I saw the thread title I thought it said "ELF jerky". [emoji]128563[/emoji]
That's a GREAT idea! I never thought of making jerky out of Elf's.

Wonder what they taste like?
