In the book that I got my recipe for the jerky from (The NZ Deer Hunter's Handbook and Resource guide) it says to store in a plastic bag in the fridge or freezer. I say just freeze it until we take it away and it should last sweet. Just one thing I would say is when you thaw it, take it out of the plastic bag and let it dry easy to avoid rehydrating it - that seemed to happen a bit when my last batch was in the fridge in a bag.
