I had a dehyrator for making dried fruit and such. I took my venison back straps and tenderloins and marinated them for a couple days in the frig in Allegro Game Tame. I then put them in the freezer until almost solid so I could slice them uniformly. Once sliced under 1/4" thick at most, they went into the dehydrator until finished-test for desired texture. Be careful, may want to slap your Momma!
