Well it is time to make some Bambi jerky. I had the hind leg in the freezer from last hunting season.

So i pulled it out thinking sausage??? or jerky??? well i decided jerky. However i could still change

my mind. Here is what i have done so far. I boned the leg. Placed in freezer to firm it up. Sliced

about 3/16" thick. Give or take. If it was thick. I would flatten it with the palm of my hand. Then i made

up a batch of brine. Brought water to boil. Added all ingredients and simmered 15 min. the allowed to

cool. Then in the project fridge.

Ingredients

1 boned deer leg = 4269 g or 9.4 pound

1/2 gallon water

Cure #1 = 15g

Kosher salt = 61g

Dark Brown sugar = 43g

Onion powder = 11g

Ground dried Tabasco peppers = 3g

Black pepper = 3g

Worcestershire Sauce = 1 1/4 cup

Soy sauce = 3/4 cup

Honey (from my bees) = 1/4 cup

Garlic = 8 cloves

I hope this helps.

Happy smoken.

I would marinate about 3 Lbs in 3 cups of Soy sauce and 1 cup of brown sugar, add 1 cup Liquid Smoke if not using a smoker.  For heat add crushed Chilli Peppers or Cayenne pepper.  Then dehydrate or smoke, if no Liquid Smoke was used, until done to the dryness you want.
