I don't care how long it's "good" Any left of the "old' Gets tossed when the new arrives. So a year tops.
Of course usually if I have any left this late in the year I donate it to my golf League. The resident cook, does something with it and the guys eat it up like it's Filet Mignon.

My BIL has venison in the freezer from several years ago, so he says. Me, I'm still working on meat from last season, and I would say a year or a little more.

Get a vaccum sealer no questions on how long it last. Best investment I ever made. Deer Burger in 1lbs balls freeze on cookie sheet till almost frozen and vaccum seal, this works great. Deer Dog the same.

I donate a lot of venison.....so I see how much is left before the season starts.....and donate any excess at that time. Nothing will be in our freezer more than a year, this way (actually a few months less). It's all dated, too.

Uncle Al I agree with you, once I get it, most of it is gone. Everyone in my house wants jerky, then people at work want deer burgers, I keep the back strap. Before you know it there is nothing left.
