I use about any cut of meat, but I just remove the fat and grind it up. I mix the seasoning in it and let it set overnight in the fridge. In the morning I just run it through a jerky gun and dry it out with a dehydrator. It comes out great and not as chewy as a lot of it back when I worked with it in thin slices.
I have been grinding deer and using my jerky gun for about 10 years now. Always turns out great. When I bought my pellet grill I bought bottom round roast and made jerky out of them as you can see in my previous post. It was way superior that the ground deer meat. It was very tender and had a great smoke flavor. Brookshire`s has bottom round roast on sale and I am headed that way today to make some more.

This is from a post I made a while back. Any cut from the round makes great jerky. I recommend waiting till top round, bottom round or eye round roast go on sale and stock up.
