beef jerky
ok, i eat alot of beef jerky. problem is, it costs alot of money. have any of you bought beef jerky in bulk or something?
i checked out a "Trails Best" website, sinces its my favorite jerky. BUT.... it costs more to order it than it does to buy it off the shelf!!!
there arent too many butcher shops around here either, as far as i know

Make your own! Very easy. Look at Cabela's website or catalog. I use a "Jerky Shooter", using very lean ground meat; beef, elk, venison, buffalo, etc. Looks like a caulking gun. I use an American Harvester food dehydrator to dry the jerky. Many many flavor kits out there, or try developing your own recipe! Much, much cheaper than buying jerky.
If you insist on commercial jerky, try Oregon Trails jerky. I believe they have a website. I'll look for their business card too. They have a booth at the Colorado State Fair every year about 2 spots away from ours. Some of the best jerky I have ever eaten. If you have a Mountain Man Nut and Fruit store or distributor nearby, try theirs too.

yes.. making yur own is good.. dont taste too bad either! i don't like the "Oh Boy! Oberto" or something like that... i like "bridgeford" it is pretty good.. $3.97 a pack.. not too expensive... but the package amount isn't very generous!! so yeah, best price would be to make yur own!
