A vacuum sealer is on my list and I'll pick one up eventually. I guess habits die hard and I've got a big roll of butcher paper to use up still.
How is the time comparison? I usually cut up around 6 deer a year... Does the vacuum packer take a long time to use?

No it is quick. I buy the bags in an 8" wide continuous roll so I have to take an extra step to cut them to length and seal one end, stuff the bag and then auto seal the open end. It probably does take a bit more time than using freezer paper but the end result is far better. I do all my ocean fish and garden produce the same way.
