I would love to see some turkey jerky
With a gravy marinade!
I second the turkey jerky idea.
I have never seen pork jerky, since I love all other things pig related; I am sure that would be delicious too
Bacon, pulled, roasted, any way you make it… PORK IS AWESOME! So you know the jerky has got to be solid!
Buffalo! Buffalo (Bison) is lean, healthy, and full of flavour!

Bison > Beef
What about Kangaroo Jerky? Because that would be some jerky with a real KICK!
Or how about Crocodile Jerky? Because it would be sure to have a BITE!
HaHa!!
Cyndi, your literary prowess is unmatched.
Beefalo!
Are we talking about a hybrid Beef + Buffalo jerky here? If so… I’m game.
What about turtle jerky.
Might be a little chewy. However, this could prove to be an interesting jerky/gum concept.
i love elk.
Elk is pretty badass. But why does it get your vote?
Venison because it tastes good.
“Because it tastes good.” Come on now Debra.
venison jerky is said to be very good.
Anything made with bits of Bambi has got to be good.
Wild Venison. Why? ‘Cause I like the idea of living off the land.
Hope to win!
I there such thing as “Domesticated” venison?
I would like venison jerky because the deer eat all my flowers.
I don’t have any flowers but I would have no problem eating them anyways.
I would like to try deer jerkey since i find deer meet to be delicious
Sorry Bambi, but you have a higher calling.
Rabbit – ate rabbit growing up!! [email protected]
Nothing better than dehydrating and eating the carcass of little bunny foo foo.
i think Bear it will be interesting and different.
Screw taxidermy. If you bring down a bear, you got to go jerky all the way!
i love rabbit so maybe that one be so cool to have in jerky
Marinated with rabbit stew flavor. Solid.
deer!!! i LOVE deer meat already, and home made deer jerky is a tradition in my family, id love to see it sold in stores one day! :)
Blue Ox Jerky shares your attitude towards venison. In fact, they offer it!
I’d like to try deer jerky. Its sooo good!
Venison all the way.
Ostrich. It would be low in fat and similar to chicken.
Hell, you could use the neck as an oversized Slim Jim.
Obama Jerky! Made of Barack. not that it would be very tasty, but it would definitley serve the people in a better way!
Classic Brandon. Simply a classic! I would expect nothing less from you.
I’d like to make turkey jerky. I just love the name – Turkey Jerky! ;) Thanks.
Just as long as its not a “circle” turkey jerky.
I think pork would be very flavorable.
anything with pork is flavorful
Squirrel jerky.
great for a small snack
I grew up on deer/venison jerky…. how about boar!
Tusks and all. Absolutely!
I have tried venison and turkey jerky but would love to try Bear jerky :)
Gardenstatemom at aol.com
Would you go with Kodiak or Grizzly?
How about some goat? Might as well…
Nice William. “Might as well” .. classic!
Duckbilled Palatapus Jerky… because it would be crazy for people to say…
I wonder if there is some sort of food you could use the bill for? Of course, you could always just turn it into a baseball hat and feast on your Palatapus Jerky while your rocking out in the dugout!
twitted this today, 07/8
Dan… what the hell does that mean?
I would like Beef Jerky because it tastes so good.
Agreed Fred.
So far, I’ve only eaten pork and beef jerky. I want some turkey jerky next, it sounds mouthwatering.
Why go bird when you could have beef?
As avid jerky eater, from store bought, (Slim Jim Real Beef Jerky) to the number of old fashioned meat markets, there is not much I have not tried, but if I could have one chance to try any creature “jerkyfied”, I would have to say penguin. Why? well it hasn’t been done yet, at least I don’t think so. Well while I was writing this, I looked it up and to my surprise, it is out there! So I would say for the exotic once in a life time, penguin then followed by the earlier-mentioned, Platypus that just sounds awesome right? Platypus eggs and Platypus jerky for breakfast!!
I’ve got to say Donovon, if you’re going to be trudging through the frozen tundra, screw trail mix! Get after the penguin jerky! But make sure you fuel up in the morning with a Platypus eggs and Platypus jerky breakfast! Solid!
This is a MANLY give-a-way, For Men…? right..? Why is everyone saying turkey..? think outside the box people…f-ing turkey…I would like to see lion, or grizzly bear jerky..what would be better then eating the king of the jungle.? and it will be jurky, we can make it taste like turkey if need be..!
Danny, Henry the Moose of Manliness would like to personally extend a debt of gratitude to you for sacking up and telling it like it is. There’s a reason were at the top of the food chain. It’s time to start acting like it!
Turkey would be a good idea, if another flavor, like teriyaki.
Perfect for a Thanksgiving appetizer.
I would like some wild hog turned into jerky, there are so many of them it would be a great way to help the problem and it would taste great too
Dean, what a selfless act. Your doing your part to control over population… and make fantastic jerky!
Rabbit, they’re cute & fuzzy, but, they taste so darn good!
I would love some bunny jerky in my Easter basket.
My step son’s dog cuz I don’t like her.
I hope it’s not a sheepdog… that might get a little hairy.
Definitely snake jerky, it would be extremely lean and it would be awesome to eat.
What type of snake we talking about here? Boa? Garden? Trouser?
I ate crocodile while I was in Africa… Now I’m curious to taste alligator. So alligator jerky would be very interesting.
Hey Dundee! How was the crocodile? We’re down here in Tampa, FL so we get plenty of gator.
Buffalo because its a different flavor.
What type of spices are we talking about here?
we have already turned every 4 legged animal possible into jerky. i still cannot get enough. maybe we should start using death row inmates for jerky. they are hard & chewy enough!
Hell yes! I have a feeling the great state of Texas would be the first state open to giving this a shot.
All of those that have already answered disgust me. Penguins because “it hasn’t been done”, Duckbilled Platypus, because “its fun to say.” Jesus, did you assholes use your tampon strings to types this shit? One glimmer of hope in the abortions that are your answers, is that it has made my answer much easier. I would turn everyone that has already answered into Jerky… And you know the best part? It would taste like Pussy! Now give me my damn jerky!
Tom is out for blood and I think Henry the Moose of Manliness just shit his moose pants. You have officially won the award for the most offensive and ballsy comment we have ever had. You Sir, are the Honey Badger of the DOM comment section.
I would love my man to be turned into jerky because then I could pull, stroke, lick, chew and swallow him up all day and all night long. Yummy for my tummy
Wow. Lisa, you have officially won the award for the best lady comment we have ever received in the history of our website. If it does not work out with your man… let me know.
Snake Jerky would be a good delicacy
What would you marinate it in?
rattle snake jerky, i love the taste of snake
And you then you could the rattle links afterwards. They’re just like corn nuts.
Who here wouldn’t want to say that you have eaten human jerky
You and Hannibal should start a fan club.
Honey Badger Jerky!!! MMM so ferocious
And the best part is, “Honey Badger don’t care!”
MAN. I DEMAND THE JERKY OF A HUMAN.
You could garnish it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I have eaten all kinds of jerky traveling the world. I have really enjoyed some and hated others. Most of the stuff you all have listed i have tried. So based on my experience, I would have to say i would love to try wildebeest. Its a close relative to a cow and prolly has some of the same BEEFY texture i love. Now if i could really choose, it would prolly be something people dont get to eat often Like maybe Rhino, or Elephant jerky. i dont think Any kind of cat jerky would be good. I ate enough cat in the Philippines.. I dont see the appeal. Now what would be awesome since snake is so good and so is iguana and gator. My absolute child hood dream jerky….TREX jerky…
Big Jase, this was an insightful look at the worldwide Jerky circuit. Screw cat, I’m on board with TREX Jerky. Let’s team up and storm the gates of Jurassic Park and make it happen. As long as we can survive Jeff Goldblum’s acting atrocity, we should be in the clear.
Wild Boar jerky! Now I don’t know if the question is meant to be serious but either way it’s a plausible choice. They are a bulky creature who could probably transform into the tender high quality jerky I enjoy.
Dude, I could crush some wild boar jerky. AND you get the added bonus of feeling like the Samson of the wilderness because you just turned a wild boar into a bite sized snack.
Well, over the years haven myself eaten a little bit of a lot of real down home-made jerky. That is not the store bought kind, it would be nice to see some made out of rattlesnake and make it sweet and hot flavored. But, don’t do like the stores do and dry it too it looks like a piece of rehydrated leather.
I’m with ya on this one Big Mama. Teriyaki rattle snake jerky would be 100% awesome!
Eagle. What could possibly be more american?
Uh oh. I think Andrew Jackson is going to rise from the grave, hunt you down, and turn you into jerky.
Alligator jerky! I could eat gator meat for the rest of my life :) I’ve had it before, and I’d love to get some more of it. Of course I feel bad for them, they are cute (in my opinion). At one point in my life I wanted to own a gator farm and wrestle them on the weekends lol. I even had it planned that at some point I would loose a finger! But that was 10 years ago.
As for the why part of the question…
It’s not TOO crazy, and yet it’s out of the box. Gator is both common and uncommon in terms of being served to eat. Down in the south anyways. Plus, it’s delicious and daring lol Some what empowering too!
Operation Manliness is based right here in Tampa, FL at Mandependence Manor so we know us some gator! Not sure about the whole “cute” description, but they are good eating and would make an awesome jerky. Besides, any time I get to eat the UF mascot, it’s a good day.
I would like a Cajun chicken jerky!!
Cajun will get your ass moving in the morning… seriously.
Spicey Beef or Tuna fish Jerky!~
Because i love jerky alot!
Any time you put “Spicey” and “Jerky” in the same sentence, you have a recipe for success.
As a avid fan and certified jerky connoisseur, some sweet, savory, barn-burned Bull jerky would be incredible. Cause what better way to put some hair on your chest and some handlebars on your ‘stache, than wrestling down one of the most manly and aggressive animals on earth, bathing it in sweet teriyaki sauce, then roasting it in a good ol’ barn fire so you can get that au naturale smoke-house flavour.
Damn Paul. I feel my testosterone level rising just by reading your response. Anyone can shoot their future jerky, but a real man wrestles it to the ground and roasts it over an open flame. DOM Manly Salute to you Sir!
I would turn that whole flock of wild phesants into jerky for being in the middle of the road when I came around the corner on my motorcycle this morning! I swear one of them looked at me with evil in its eyes! If they are there tomorrow morning I will tell you personally what phesant jerky tastes like in about 2-3 days drying time!
I like where your heads at. This is a perfect reason to turn pheasants into jerky and remind them who is the king of the road and food chain!
some shark jerky I love shark steaks
Got to go Great White or Bull Shark.
deer jerky It is the best
Why deer?
Im going to go with unicorn jerky. It would be expensive as heck, and hard to come by, but nevertheless it would be good and horny. Call it female and putt it in a bag,lol.
As long as you can get past Tom Cruise from “Legend” (which shouldn’t be hard, just step over him) then you could be on your way to the most sought after jerky known to man. Odds of getting a PETA endorsement… slim. Odds of becoming a jerky Legend… very good.
I think we can all agree that Spice Weasel jerky would be excellent. Or terrible…But probably excellent!
AND, everyone knows that weasels are naturally spicy.
Venison, that’d be delish1
Hooray for Bambi!
Update….We just a tried Perky Jerky and while the meat was moist, it was that candy jerky flavor crap. Soy sauce , worcestershire sauce, organic soy sauce, that stuff does not belong in any jerky!
Damn right. If you want candy, go buy a Snickers. If you want to put hair on your chest, then eat some hearty jerky that tastes like animal!
mmm, most animals should be made into jerky, lol
While I do agree, is there one in particular?
I would like to see moose jerky.
I don’t think Henry the Moose of Manliness will be a fan.
Buffalo – it’s so lean!
Sacrifice the buffalo!
I always love taking a bit of a deer and turning it into jerky.
can’t go wrong with venison
Elk
why?
Pig jerky. Anything that gives me bacon has to be good.
100% Agreed!
Turkey Jerky because it is a lean meat….. and would have good flavor!!!!!!
What type of marinade are we talking about here?
turkey, might taste good
You could rock it on Thanksgiving!
Saw a lot of votes for Venison. Have to throw my hat into that particular ring. Grew up eating the stuff, my uncle would give me a big bag of it he would make himself, and it would last me a month. it was a bit tough, but i think that’s the reason why i can bite holes in beer cans now…
Van… we should hang out and eat Fosters cans then wash them down with some homemade venison jerky.
Buffalo because I like the taste and it is a leaner meat
Bison burgers… Solid. Bison filet… Super Solid. Bison jerky…
Would have to go for moose jerky. Had tried moose burgers in Canada and they tasted great. So I’m sure moose jerky will be just as good if not better! If it had to be something exotic… how about some zebra jerky? Heck, give me anything-turned jerky and I’ll down it if it tastes good. Just don’t let me know what it is..
Moose burgers! I’m intrigued. Henry the Moose of Manliness… not so much. I’m game for zebra.
I’d like to turn cats into jerky because it pisses me off when they don’t come when you call their name. Nothing would make me happier than to skin em, dehydrate em, and then absorb their cocky essence in the form of tasty cat jerky.
Mike, DOM Salute to you Sir. AND it also pisses me off that cats think their shit don’t stink. This is coming from the animal who is so embarrassed to take a shit in public, that it scampers away to a domesticated sandbox and then covers its pathetic turds with sand. No wonder we call them “Pussy” cats.
How about Yak jerky. They are some stubborn creatures and I bet they would make an awesome jerky!
Cody… I like it! And you could make one badass wig out of their hair to wear to an 80s hairband party.
buffalo because it is SOO tasty. or ostrich because it is healthy and tasty!
What kind of spices or marinades would you use?
I’m torn between raccoon or mountain lion jerky. There both pesky creatures,
Damn… my vote goes for the mountain lion.
Def. some bacon jerky!!!!
It would be like jerky mini pretzel sticks. Wash it down with a beer… or 20… and call it a day.
I think the multitudes would go nuts over some good Ole Squirrel Jerky…
Squirrel jerky is like the triscuit cracker of the jerky world. Always an awesome snack.
Ooh, I agree with the pork jerky idea. I love anything pork. So, I say turn PIGS into jerky!
Damn right!
I love the idea about pork jerky!
Anything with pork is good in my book. Which is a national best seller.
How about some Duck or Bear Jerky!
I could do a little Donald jerky
Venison. My uncle made it all the time when I was younger, and it was awesome.
Homemade venison. Hard to beat.
Snapping Turtle Jerky!
Then you could always recycle the shell to add to you Tupperware collection.
I’d go with Buffalo Jeky
Bison = Awesomeness!
Id love Venison Jerjky, because I love Venison!
ptavernie at yahoo dot com
What type of marinade you throwing on there?
Turkey – for a healthier jerky!
There is no such thing as “unhealthy” jerky.
Hmmmm, carte blance? How about duck or whale jerky? Maybe some panda jerky or koala jerky? Sloth jerky? I guess I’ll keep it realistic and say mahi mahi jerky. I’ve always loved the flavor of mahi mahi.
I don’t know about fish jerky. It might end up tasting like something else…
Elk jerky because it’s tasty and lean
Lean, mean, Jerky machine!
Ostrich jerky sounds interesting to me
The neck is basically an overgrown Slim Jim
I would really love bear jerky!
What type of bear we talking here? You going Grizzly, Kodiak, Winnie the Pooh?
I’d like to try deer jerky.
venison all the way
think Rabbit would be good
vmkids3 at msn dot com
Nothing like some peppered bunny!
turkey.i love turkey
amy16323(at)gmail(dot)com
I love elk jerky!
Turkey; I would like to add it to a range top stuffing!
Venison,cause it’s good.
Elk.
Turkey jerky would be great!
Hmmm… how about Pork or Turkey?
I just like deer jerky.
I would love to try some bear jerky, super meaty ;)
alligator jerky maybe,
I love poultry so I think anything with chicken or turkey. Maybe with a curry spice to it….sounds good to me!
Rabbit Jerky! That would be yummy I think.
Turkey to lower the fat some.
I would like deer jerk because I think free meat has a good favor for dehydrating.
Bison because it’s tasty!
Tiger Jerky. Everyone who matters knows that Tiger Blood is the most manly ingredient on earth.
I know some people that would enjoy some squirrel jerky
Possum jerky. Those ugly, mean animals have no other purpose- might as well make them useful.
I would choose Beef, because I am a traditionalist and I love Beef Jerky.
Definitely bison because it has such great flavor!
ardvarks- cause they aren’t cute, best i can come up with lol sorry
Ostrich because I wonder what it would taste like.
id love turkey because it is lean
veal because it would be tender and tasty
ostrich because i have heard that it tastes great and is very lean
Venison – it is good as jerky but not so much otherwise. Less “otherwise” cooking of venison I would have to do if I turned a lot of it into jerky. ha
I would turn chicken into Jerky. Think about it, its great smoked, you can add all the spices in the world and it still tastes great, sauces like bbq or Asian sauces mmmm good, and I love chicken!
WHITE TIGER JERKY.. of course
Alligator, they say it tastes like chicken.
How about some duck jerky…..something different :)
In the time when men were men, and Saul Bunyan, founder of Blue Ox jerky, lumber across the USofA swinging his giant ax and even bigger “third leg”, blue oxen roamed the land. We need 1. find these rare beasts, 2. hunt them with bows and knives and that primal urge to slaughter things bigger than us. 4. Strip meat from bone and slather some spicy bbq sauce on it. 5. cook and dry it 6. enjoy and 7. poop and repeat!!
Venison Jerky is really good, so I pick that!
Duck jerky would be good, because duck tastes go good anyway, it would probably make good jerky.
I’m gonna go with a pig
Someone said turkey jerky, that would be cool. My husband is also hoping to shoot a deer this year with his bow, so I know he’ll want to turn that into jerky!
I would like to see wild boar turkey. I think it would be tender and have a different pork taste to it.
lauraemerson17 at yahoo dot com
We have a lot of wild turkeys, so I’d like to see some turkey made into jerky. Maybe we’ll have to try and make some next time we get a wild turkey.
I love deer jerky!!
Turkey jerky is my favorite but I love it to be extra spicy!
Pig jerky because just about everyone loves bacon so bacon jerky would rule!
Hello, how are you? Thank you for this opportunity. Bison is definitely great.
Buffalo Jerky. Hot, peppered, and smoky.
Mike P

Venison because I have had it before and it is out of this world.
Pork! It just tastes so good!
chrissylea1979 (at)gmail(dot) com
I would like to try Elk or Deer Jerky. That sounds good.
I’d like to try moose jerky as I just tried moose a few months ago and enjoyed it.
Alligator Jerky. Do they even make that? We have too many here in Louisiana.
