Anyone got a recipe for bear jerky? I met a guy a few years back while hunting in California that had a good one but lost track of him. Jim

Jim I use the HI MOUNTAIN Jerky Cure and it does a great job. Hope this helps. Bergie

Hi mountain is good stuff! I have used a smoker but prefer the oven, comes out better. Cut into 1/4" or smaller strips, use the Hi Mountain and mix it in a bowl and lay on jerky racks, 200-250 degrees turning after 1/2 hour or so, taste it now and then and pull out when you like it's dryness.

I dunno, jerky is often cured too low of temp to kill trichinosis. Careful!

Agree with Steve H. Bear and lion both are carriers. Several years ago, I heard from a Forest Service buddy about a batch of lion jerky that someone at their station had brought in. Many got sick from it - didn't kill the trichinosis. Fortunately, he didn't eat any - he has hunted long enough to know about it. I always cook bear well done.
