Fresh deer jerkey?
Cacatch:
Thanks guys. I guess I'll freeze it for at least a couple months. I'm glad I read the back of the box because it had never crossed my mind that if I kill a deer I couldn't just cut off a few fresh strips and make them into jerkey the same day. I guess it makes sense though. I guess cooking would be a different story though right? Since you get the meat to a high temperature in the process?

Yeah....you can eat fresh kill...all you have to do is get the core temperature up above 165 to kill bacteria and parasites....
cowboy:
Ive made jerky fresh off the deer several times - ain't dead yet ;D.
Hillbilly:
I'd be far more concerned about domestic meat from the store than deer meat. Wild hog or bear I'd want to cook or freeze first, but most of the deer parasites I've heard of are more likely to be in the internal organs than the muscle meat. I've made it from fresh deer meat before and haven't had any experiences like that guy in the Alien movie so far. ;D I kinda doubt if the Indians popped a deer into the chest freezer for six months before they cut it up and dried it and they lived off wild game for thousands of years.
mullet:
I've done the same as cowboy and hillbilly.
