well if you dont have a grinder llike me this is what i do:
Take a back leg of a deer, let it freeze then thaw out for a day or two, to where the middle is still slightly frozen(it just cuts easier this way). Get you a long sharp knife and cut thin strips not too thick. Take a bowl and marinade them in whatever you like (experiment a little). I use sugar, soy sauce, brown sugar, a-1 all kinds of stuff......just see what you like. AFter about 2-3days of marinading i lay out in a baking wrack,(usaually every wrack i have in the house) I set the oven on just WARM then i let it cook all night till it looks like jerky. Then let them lay out and cool off before you put into baggies
