Venison jerky, but not beef.

Get a dehydrator. I have an Excaliber dehydrator. Forget all this oven rack/toothpick fuss!!

One batch of antelope dryed too long. I soaked the jerky in Coca Cola in the fridge to re-hydrate it and the re-dryed it. I thought that batch was one of the best I have ever made.

Yup, sometimes a sweet jerk is the best cure. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think a sweet and very spicy hot brine can do a lot for really gamey meats. Hey, if your taste buds are getting fried, you won't be able to taste the musk.

Smoking the meat can do wonders as well, and just like with hides, smoking meat can make it last a little longer as well, especially if it ain't dried completely.

Here are some links to get you started.
