Bear, Elk, Buffalo or Venison? A Guide to Our Wild Game Snack Sticks

One of the questions we hear most at our shop in Howe, Texas is: "What does bear taste like?" Our wild game snack sticks are some of the most fun things we make, and they're a great way to try something new. Every one has only 6% sodium and no MSG. Here's how they compare.

Bear: sweet with cinnamon and brown sugar

If you have a sweet tooth, start here. Our Bear snack sticks are made with added cinnamon and brown sugar for a sweet flavor the whole family enjoys. They're also a great source of protein for energy.

Elk: lean and loaded with garlic

Elk is a very lean meat and a great protein source. We add a lot of garlic to these, enough to take out any vampire. Garlic lovers, this is your stick.

Buffalo: mild, like breakfast sausage

Not ready for anything too wild? Our Buffalo snack sticks are a mild recipe that tastes a lot like breakfast sausage. It's the easiest exotic for first-timers and picky eaters.

Venison: a little on the sweet side

Hunters already know venison. Our Venison snack sticks have a great flavor that leans a little sweet, and they're high in protein for a good energy boost.

Which one should I try first?

  • Like sweet? Bear or Venison
  • Like bold and savory? Elk
  • Want something mild? Buffalo

Can't decide? Try them all. You'll find every flavor in our jerky and snack sticks collection, along with Texas favorites like Jalapeño & Cheddar and, for the brave, XXX Hot at close to 300,000 Scoville.
