I use my dehydrator. Cut the venison in small strips, not too thick. Lay out and salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion salt or whatever suits your taste. Dry until leathery. Eat and enjoy. I put mine in the freezer for keeping. You can also buy seasoning. Some I like, others I do not. You just have to try a few and remember which your family likes and try to use them in the future. You can find them on the internet where sausage seasonings, etc. are found.
