Does anyone else vacuum pack their venison?

We use a $10.00 Rival my wife found new at a yard sale!

Sure. I tried it for the first time last year. Now I wouldn't dream of doing it any other way. It lasts longer and its quicker. I use a foodsaver as well.

I have borowed a food saver and it did the job well. I read up on them since and discovered that there are some fairly common problems with them. Bass Pro sells a heavy duty one for a decent price. When It comes to sealing a dear or two a year the extra $ spent now you wont regret later.

I vacume pack all my deer ,steaks, burger, roast and the good part of this is that if you use a little more bag,I buy the rolls that you seal and make the size bag that you want,you can use them over quite a few times,with out the bag being runed. I love it . Also I bought a hd one that cost about 3 times what a cheep one does.I is worth the money. Jerry

I use a bag sealer and a piece of aquarium tubing.

The sealer is from ULINE ($125) and seals any bag. The tubing I use to withdraw the air from the bag with a single breath and -ZAP-, she's done.

Maple,I am not saying that the cheep one isn't any good. My wife works a Cabelas and we get a discount on all that good stuff so we bought the very best one that they had . But I was told that if you do deer as much as I do it is a good investment. I have done 2 deer this year ,and plan on doing 2 more if my luck holds out. Jerry

I have always just packaged in freezer bags, squeeze out all the air, then wrap in freezer paper. Will last almost two seasons that way. Although, most of it hits the grill before the following October

I triple pack in sarah wrap being careful to remove all air bubbles, then I double wrap in butcher's paper. It stays fresh and I've had no problems with freezer burn.

Kinda like grinding me bstout. I used to use a hand grinder and this year I purchased an electric one. WOW

, I could do an entire deer in about a 10th of the time. Down side is that I may be getting a bit lazy

No problem this year yet - since there's been no deer to process.
