Duck an Goose Jerky

[Snowman]

Well just got done with a batch of duck jerky.  Made some goose jerky a couple of weeks ago an man it was good and so is this fresh batch of duck jerky. Any who. What is everyones favorite brine? I just sliced it thin and soaked it in teryaki sauce overnight an into the dehydrater it went. Got a smoker, but was just easier to use the dehrydrater.       Gunna have a hard time saving it till this weekend when we go east to hunt.

I left my last batch of duck legs in the smoker too long and ended up with jerky.  It was actually pretty good.  I used the same brine mix that use for salmon:

1 cup salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 TSP cloves
1 TSP allspice
2 TSP white pepper

Grind the spices and mix everything together. 
Rub the mix into the meat. 
Refrigerate 8 hours
Rinse off the mix
8 more hours in the frig to dry and allow pemmican to form
Smoke

duck jerky sounds pretty good. I remember growing up and not liking the taste of duck but that was probably because my dad was a horrible cook. Does this have any strong flavor or does it pretty much take on the flavor of the brine?

I just use the High Mountain Seasoning for making duck and goose jerky.  It sometimes feels like cheating but the end result tastes so good and $7 makes 15lbs of jerky.  I too have a smoker but for duck jerky I just use the oven and put the meat on cookie cooling racks.  Really easy and really good.

Yeah had to hide it from the kid and take a seperate bag and hide it from the wife. Any kind of jerky doesn't last long around here. An made sure the good ole hunting dogs couldn't get to it.

Really?  Seems like a lot.  Gets really expensive.  I usually only put a tsp or so per cup of liquid....

You can get the gallon jugs of liquid smoke at different grocery outlets for next to nothing.  It would probably work with a half cup, but gets overpowered by the soy sauce if I use less.
