I learned this trick from a guy I hunted with in Montana. He bought a roll of those plastic bags the grocery store has out in their produce dept. If you wrap your venison in one of those bags and squeeze out the air and then wrap it in freezer paper, it will last a very long time. I just defrosted some venison sausage I made in 2004 and it was fine. No freezer burn.
And using the plastic bags was a lot cheaper than buying one of those vacuum units. And the plastic bag roll must have a ton of bags cause I'm still using the roll I bought in Montana before we moved to Texas.
And don't start yelling that I should have eaten that sausage sooner. I gave some to my son-in-law and he forgot about it in the freezer. We defrosted it on our last visit and had it for breakfast.
