I used my old Winchester 30-06, 180 Grain Barnes Vortex bullet. I put a new Leopold VX2 9 X 40 scope on it last month.

Dave, I am not turning the whole thing into Jerky, but thought I would try making 20LBS or so by myself.

My neighbor's Dad has been making jerkey out of elk burger for a lot of years. I am trying to weasel the recipe out of him. Its some of the best jerkey I have ever had.

Sol Duc; you bet, just keep watching for the UPS truck.

Thanks for the compliments and I wish the rest of you the same luck I had on your hunt.

Mike
