smoked nilgai jerky

[TackDriver284]

Went to Bass Pro Shop to shop, found some Hi Mountain jerky seasonings, and grabbed the sampler pack of 5 different seasonings. When I got home, I defrosted a nilgai round roast, and a few days later I deboned the meat and used a jerky cutting board that has 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch slice sizes, and used the quarter inch. Netted a hair under 5 lbs, and used 4 lbs with Garlic Pepper seasoning and the rest with Hickory flavor. Added a few more tablespoons of coarse black pepper to the jerky as well. Took less than 2 hours at 200 degrees in the Traeger. It's delicious. Next time I will try my seasonings made from scratch.

Looks awesome Mark. I bet Nilgai jerky is one of the best.
The High Mountain Garlic Pepper seasoning is excellent. My next WT hind quarter will be made into jerky.

Looks to have been a worthwhile effort. No doubt the jerky will be enjoyed.
