4Falls Report post Posted November 2, 2017 I would like to make some jerky from the bear I just harvested. I know when cooking the meat I need to get to 145 degrees, obviously, in my dehydrator its not going to get that hot. What say you? Also, does anyone have any jerky recipes to share?

Tac Report post Posted November 2, 2017 I know nothing about bear meat but I like to use ground meat for my jerky. I have used high mountain seasonings different flavors and like the garlic pepper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted November 2, 2017 Yea you need to at least hit 145 degrees but I cooked all my meat to 165 degrees as recommend for pork to kill trichinosis. So I myself wouldnt risk it. But I use my oven or pellet smoker for jerky. Let us know how it goes and taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
