I agree with others that Vacuum sealing is the best, wrapped in freezer paper afterwards, just to make sure. I have never had any problem keeping game.

Just an after thought, for the guys like me who always wind up at the end of the year with meat in the freezer, that needs to be used before the season starts.

Get yourself a good meat grinder and a jerky maker kit from Cabela's and you can grind up any meat in the freezer such as Hog, Deer,Beef,Chicken, and any other meat you have left, and make Jerky out of it. Once it is made it can be stored almost indefinetly, and is always a good snack to take to camp. It can be made in your oven in about 1 1/2 hours.

I take a 5 lb bag to deer camp every year, and it always seems to disappear. It is also a good snack for watching TV instead of a bag of tator chips.
