also, make sure the jerky is completely cooled before putting them in the baggies. Even the slightest amount of heat trapped in there can collect moisture.

I use ground venison, and mix this.....
Per 1# Ground Venison, I use
1/4cup Soy Sauce
1/4cup Teriaki or Worcestershire (you choose)
1/2 TBSP Seasoned Salt (or Morton's Hot Salt if you like HOT)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 - 1 tsp Black pepper (use the 1tsp if you like a peppery flavor)
2 TBSP Liquid Smoke
2 TBSP Brown Sugar
Mix all ingredients in a GOOD zip-lock freezer or storage bag, allow to set in refrigerator at least 24hrs, up to 5days is fine, makes no difference that I can tell, then shoot onto dehydrator trays and allow to dry. Remove when dried to desired dryness. If too dry, you can place in a ziplock bag with a piece of fresh "white" bread, and the bread will dry up and leave it's moisture in the jerky "rehydrating" it to some extent.

RE: Disaster strikes in the ziploc bags!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers in this sensitive time guys. It's ok though, I had a few beers to help with the closure and poured some on the ground outside for my fallen jerky.
