Elk jerky ideas!

[scarboy11]

Ok everyone today I whipped up about 7 pounds of jerky, elk jerky. I used a elk liver, off the bull I harvested last September. My question is has anyone ever used a elk liver to make jerky? I have it in a marinade right now for a couple days and used my commercial meat slicer to get good 1/4" pieces so I am actually pretty pumped to do it so ya let me know what your stories are!

I love liver and everyone loves jerky. Liver jerky does not sound good at all. Liver isn't meat. Let us know if it is edible.

I know I won't like it. I don't like liver, or jerky.

Not much help huh?

Haha no help at all bar haha b. Roberts I agree my man! I just had this thing frozen and honestly thought it was a roast. Once it was thawed I realized what it was and I've never been once to just throw stuff out and I want to have this jerky ready by next Friday scout trip haha

I'm gonna have to trust you on this one scarboy. I leave vital organs to rest. Apparently I've not been hungry enough to stomach them.

Bold flavor always throws up a red flag for me.

I'm a young gun ha, honestly I not a liver guy at all! My hunting buddy was the one who took the liver and insisted on me keeping it. My plan was to simply toss it out once I wa home. Once I realized it was liver I said what the hell, if it was terrible I would toss it all out anyway. I don't plan on making elk liver jerky a regular thing. But I did make the best of it haha

Well, enjoy it. It's a good protein source.
