Default RE: Venison-longer in the freezer=less gamey?

My venison is great from the start. Do you do your own butchering? I do my own and take extra care to remove all the fat,blue membrane and sinew before freezing. Most butcher just can't take the time to butcher in this manner and keep the cost reasonable. They tend to band saw up a deer , wrap it up then freeze it. The gamey and bad taste is concentrated in the fat, bone dust and marrow adds more bad flavours. It could be your first package might have had a lot of fat on it and the rest little or none. I can't see that freezing would alter the taste.
