One ounce, individually wrapped, shelf-stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy pepper on elk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElk is rich and earthy, and black pepper is one of the few seasonings that can meet it without flattening it. Sharp at the front, then the meat comes through underneath. Sweet glazes tend to fight elk; pepper works with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a clean pepper bite rather than heat. If you want burn, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/venison-jerky-spicy\"\u003eVenison Fire stick\u003c\/a\u003e is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStick or flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are chopped and formed from the same meat. The stick is round and cased, easy to break and eat one-handed — this is the one that lives in a truck console or a pack. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/elk-jerky\"\u003ehickory smoked elk flat\u003c\/a\u003e is a wider strip with more surface for the smoke, and a longer eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the elk comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade with grass-fed, pasture-raised elk from Pāmu Farms of New Zealand — one of the most respected farming operations in the world. Pāmu has been farming New Zealand land since 1886 and runs over 100 farms under formal animal welfare and environmental stewardship commitments, protecting more than 10,000 hectares for biodiversity alongside its livestock operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone packing for a day outdoors.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense protein, no refrigeration, no mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople who want elk without committing to a bag.\u003c\/strong\u003e Buy one and find out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety pack builders.\u003c\/strong\u003e Elk is the one that gets finished first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it's blended\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike every wild game meat we carry, this is blended with other meats. There's a regulatory reason as well as a practical one — elk isn't covered by mandatory USDA inspection the way beef and pork are, so blending is what brings the whole product under the federal stamp. It also fixes a real problem: elk is extremely lean, and on its own it makes a dry stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardwood smoked in small batches at Zick's Specialty Meats in Michigan, a family smokehouse running the same recipes for over forty years. No MSG. No fillers.
