Here are some tips to preserve deer meat properly:

  • For greatest freshness, wrap the meat tightly moisture-proof premium freezer paper, such as Sentry Top Guard Premium Freezer Paper, overlapping the edges and pushing out air bubbles out as much as possible.  
  • Then wrap packages and seal the freezer paper with tape, ensuring all edges are completely sealed to prevent freezer burn.
  • Write the date of processing on the paper and note the specific cut of meat in each package.
  • Try to freeze meat in meal size quantities and by type of cut.
  • Store the packets in the freezer at a 0 degrees F in a single layer.
  • Freeze no more than 4 pounds per cubic foot of freezer space within a 24-hour period.

Using premium freezer paper will make dear meat last for up to a year when cared for and stored properly.  We also offer freezer paper in a camouflage print to help distinguish the meat in the freezer and enhance the presentation of wild game.
