Mule I agree most people overcook game meat, we eat our elk, venison and antelope really rare.
Moikle, I will have to check out your posts, I figured if we make the trade, we will break it down like we do a deer or elk.
Update!
Got to taste the alpaca. it was pretty dang good. Tasted better raw than cooked. cant wait to try it chopped with a quail egg mixed in.
My son thinks it tastes a little "goaty"if it is cooked to anything over rare.
Two thumbs up!! (now to make the trade with the guy)
The powdered milk acts as a binder and lets the sausage hold onto more moisture.
I have done it both ways and like it with the dpm better, the end result is a much juicier product.
jerky seems to be an odd project around here, Ive been doing it for about 5-6 years and still cant get it consistantly the same smokeyness and dryness. what I have learned is less smoke is better( just my opinion) too much just gets bitter., the real trick is the right amount of "dryness"
I have never had white tail, but imo it is way better than mule deer.
If you eat it really rare or raw you have a hard time telling it from grass fed beef.
