I would rather use it for peperoni and sausage...

Done it lots. Make it from ground and use a Jerky press, Dehydrate overnight, then just to be sure, 10 min in the convection oven at 200. Gets the internal temp over 165 for the two min required to take care of any trick!!
Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

No problem as long as you get it up to temp.

My bear has the same texture as pork, but taste is not the same. I haven't tried bear jerky yet, next bear I will try it out.

If it tasted good and you know it's safe to eat, why not?
Never done it myself but I'd like to try once I tag a bear

I personally wouldn't because I prefer it for bacon or ham, but I do not see a reason why you could not make bear jerky. I have had shark jerky and it was alright.

I've done it lots. Ate several of 'm. Like Mr Dean says Temp.
It's into freezer bags & frozzen & bring them out to thaw and you have unlimited supply all year.
