>>954327Coyote jerky is not bad.
Remove ANY fat.
Soak 1/4 inch thick slices in vinegar brine.
Change brine after 12 hours, soak 12 more.
Dry and roll in 75% sugar, 25% garlic powder til coated.
Cool smoker works best but dehydrator will do. Blot off if the meat "sweats" any when checking.
If it's almost too salty, you put the right amount of salt in the vinegar. Use too much, and it will be too salty unless rehydrated (slimy texture if you do that).
Good idea to freeze raw meat for two weeks first to kill parasites.
Foxes, on the other hand, taste like literal pissy no matter what you do. Same with bobcat. Would only eat them if it were do or die.
