With my 2 bottomless pits (twin teenage boys) I couldn't tell you how long any meats lasts in the freezer. After giving about half of the 3 Moose we got away to the family, and 2 whitetail so far (tiny TN whitetail so not a lot there) we MIGHT get to test if it lasts a year and still good. My buddy in AK hung all 3 Moose and cut them up for us after a 12 day hang in the cooler. They yielded 1586 pounds all vacuum packed and froze solid in a negative degree flash freezer for the trip down to us. We are most definitely a family of carnivores. My youngest sister tried being a vegetarian. That didn't last long. I think maybe a couple weeks. Don't get me wrong, I love my vegies. But not as a main or exclusive dish! I eat some sort of meat with every meal. Always have and more than likely always will. Same with the wife and kids. I don't think the boys will get as big as me but they are going to get pretty darn close. Both already topping 6' and both clipping 200#. You don't get that size at 16 eating bunny food!
