Bear Jerky

[Jager]

Another little tip. Slice the meat while it is still partially frozen. It makes it a little less frustrating.

What do you think will happen to the Trich if the jerky is smoked or dried in the oven? My guess is it wouldn't get hot enough.

I believe in all of Canada there are usually only 5-6 cases of trichonsis a year. Given the number of people that eat bear, and the number of people that I KNOW make uncooked and unfrozen bear products (read: landjaegger, pepperoni etc.), I think the risk is overstated. Besides, if you beat the odds and become infected somehow, its rarely fatal.
