Pandora, around here you can't buy venison in the stores. Up in the
northern regions you can but not here. The only way to get venison is
to go hunting or know a hunter friend who is will to share a bit of his
catch. For that reason, most people make jerky with beef here.

Tidbit about our area - duck hunting is huge business here as is
fishing. Duck season has started here. One of my neighbours is a duck
hunter guide - he takes the hunters out to the *best* spots & get paid a
handsome sum for doing so as well as gets all the wild ducks he wants.
Last year he traded me a couple of ducks for veggies from my garden.
The ducks were an interesting experiment - neither DH or I cared for the
taste!
