trash bags, double wrapped-----Break the meat down, such as hind quarter ( top round, bottom round, eye) once the meat is seperated I cut them into chunks. I find that keeping the meat into chunks that are the desired size for a meal will keep the moisture in. In the past, when I was slicing the meat into stakes before freezing, I found that the meat dried out. I have also gone to using a vacuum sealer. You'll have a tough( no pun intended ) time trying to tell if the meat was from a deer this year or last using the sealer. Nothing like processing your own deer, especially when your wife will seal it!!!!!!!!!!
