Deer Jerky Help

[Marion]

I've made lots of beef jerky but this is my first attempt at deer jerky.

My dehydrator runs about 160 degrees and knowing that deer is much more lean than beef I don't want to leave it in there to long and end up with something really hard and inedible.

About how long should I leave it in?

How thick is it cut? How much is in there? I always start to check mine after around 4 hrs tops.

It's about 1/4 inch thick and I have about 1 1/2 gallon baggies full. I may have to make 2 batches which is OK.
