I'm going out for elk next weekend, and if lucky, I'll bring back A LOT of meat. My question is about how to wrap it for freezer storage. Last year, I got my first ever deer, a nice 4x4 Muley, and I simply put the various cuts/roasts into large freezer bags, squished most of the air out, marked the bag, and stuffed it in the freezer. Worked pretty well, some ice built up on the meat over the year, but not much, and none of the meat was ruined; all was fine once thawed out.
I know some folks like to simply use butcher paper. Some use vacuum sealers.
What do the fine folks here on THR recommend? If butcher paper, are all kinds created alike, or are there particular brands/types that are better than others? This is obviously for the whole cuts that go in the freezer. The burger/sausage can just go into the bags, unless you guys have a recommendation for that too.
Thanks!
