What wood for deer jerky?

[SmokinDuramax]

Just what it says? Help please!

Let's see there is 9 different flavors so you are gonna get 9 different answers. It all depends on what it is that YOU like. I myself am partial to Hickory for game meats, but then I am partial to Hickory with every meat.

just since I've been doing this which is just a few months , tried several different woods , the family always request the hickory , haven't found any thing yet that didn't taste good with it .

I smoke deer every now and then ::) and I like Pecan my self.

Try them all and decide what YOU like.

I agree that you should experiment. In order to help you make a decision the following link may be useful.

Only jerky I make is from deer meat.    I usually use hickory but have used maple and it was nice too.    Don't think any are bad.

Sounds like you better you have a lot of deer to try all the woods that have been suggested  ;D

Hickory - Hickory - Hickory

But you can't go wrong with any.  Don't be afraid to try something different on a seperate batch.  Your taste may be different and you may find you like a different wood
