Deer jerky recipe?

Options
Looking for a good jerky recipe that has a lot of flavor if anyone is willing to share. Will be hand cutting a roast and smoking it on the egg. Any tips are welcome!

    This is my go-to recipe for all jerky- deer, elk, goose, beef, etc. 

    5 lbs Meat (wild game, goose, duck, beef, etc)
    1/3 C Worcestshire
    3/4 C Soy Sauce- I’m partial to tamari 
    2 tbl Sea Salt
    1/2 lemon, juiced
    1/4 C Real maple syrup or honey
    2 tbl ground black pepper
    1/8 C garlic powder
    1/8 C onion powder
    1 Tbl hot sauce

    I usually cold smoke my jerky for a little bit before heading to the dehydrator. You can leave that part out and add some liquid smoke if you really want to, I rarely do.

    Forgot to mention, you could also cut back on the soy and sea salt and add the proper amount of curing salt for 5 pounds of meat and it’ll keep for months. Again, I rarely do this because a 5 lb batch of jerky doesn’t last more than a few weeks in my house.

    Looks like a good recipe. I’m doing a small batch my first go around so I’ll have to adjust. Don’t want to mess up and waste anything.

    Needs more spice (I like Valentina's extra spicy.  I also prefer cracked black pepper over ground.
