If it's rotten, it costs moar.

Someone's actually gotta drive round knocking some animals down to make the roadkill that goes into the jerky, then someone has to drive a pick-up behind them to pick-up the roadkill.
Not as cheap to make all that roadkill as it used to be!

All you need is a food dehydrator. My beef jerky is superior to anything you will find in a store. And when I make it, I end up with ziploc bags full mwhahahahaha. I feel like a pothead, except my stash is dry seasoned beef strips.
