Sugar curing wild meats

[pointblank]

When I was a kid we used to "sugar cure" pork. It was the best tasting ever.
I wonder how this method would be for wild meats?
Basically, it's packing the meat in a salt, pepper and brown sugar mix, wrap it in paper, put it in a cotton bag, hang it and let it cure.

Check out www.mortonsalt.com for curing mix information and recipes. I've cured a caribou roast with the sugar cure, and now have two venison roasts curing. I've tried only the "corned beef" recipe with the caribou, and it was good.

Just remember to cook the meat before you eat it. Trichanosis is a serious problem in Alaska in bear meat and can also be in other wild meats as well.

There is a product sold as Buckboard Bacon at Sportmans Warehouse that does a nice job. It does take a smoker that hits 200 degress. One could also smoke and then put in the oven and cook to reach the 145 degrees.
