So i made me some venison jerky from the deer i harvested the day after thanks giving, and i got to thinking as to what the shelf life would be of said jerky?! i planned on making quite a bit and then possibly vacume sealing some of it for later in the year when the craving really kicks in. i imagine it would be stable and edible for a long time if all moisture is removed and seal properly. also, does anyone dehydrate any foods for semi-long term storage?
