Elk: bold and peppery
The elk stick is seasoned with bourbon and black pepper for the boldest flavor of the three. It is the pick for people who like a peppery beef jerky and want to try something new.
Venison: sweet and tangy
Honey mustard gives the venison stick a sweet, tangy finish, and at 7g per stick it has the most protein of the three. It contains mustard, so skip it if mustard is an allergy in your house.
Wild boar: smoky barbecue
The wild boar stick has a smoky barbecue flavor with paprika and spices, at 50 calories per stick. A good pick for barbecue fans.
