1 year with butcher paper.
2 years with freezer zip lock bags.
3+ years with vacuum sealed bags.
My son just went on a camping trip and took along some vacuum sealed bear roast and said it tasted fine. It was from 2003.

I cut my own meat. That means I wrap too. I wrap in plastic wrap and then in butcher paper. I found a roast in my freezer last fall[:-][:-][:-][:-]it was 4 yrs old. Except fro a couple of spots all meat was just like it was froze for 3months. Plastic wrap seals the meat from the air and butcher paper does the rest. Butcher paper alone will not seal perfectly. Honestly if the meat is there take a look. Don't follow any guidelines. Smell, look and then taste. Once the meat is thawed smell it......... if it stinks throw it out. If it doesn't stink cut off any spots that look like they have been damaged. Cook and taste........ it not any different.
That reminds me......... I have a pork picnic that I found from 03 that I have to take a look at. Doing a boston butt. Got the picnic for $4...... 8lbs. I have 3 chest freezer and every now and again something slips through the cracks. Check B4 you throw it out
