Deer Meat
Can deer meat still be good on or after being in the freezer for about one year?

Hi Joe, what kind of cuts are they. The thinner the cut the less likely it will be used for human consumption, but dog food would be good. If it is a denser meat like a roast (and I have recipes if you need them) then yes, you can still eat the dear meat roasts. I would be learly about the ribs though, although they are the best part absolutely fresh.
And, as an aside, why don't you answer your PMs. You sent me one and I have no idea what it is about.

Hi Tickle,
Thank you for answering. Actually this is ground deer meat. I have different cuts as well but what I thawed out was ground deer meat.
Last couple of years have been introduced to many different ways of eating deer meat which are really good. Tried the roast thing not so much for me. Although would be interested in recipes.
I will reply very soon and explain everything and sorry for not answering back to the pm I got today.

Joe, I would use it in chili recipes. Deer meat is low in cholesterol. Would be good for that. As for the deer roasts, send them to me, I roast them with bacon on top. Excellent protein and low in fat.

So a year later and all is okay from the freezer I was thinking about making home made lasagna using the deer meat and maybe a dear loaf or burgers.

Hey, go for it Joe, but I wouldn't go with the lasagna, slow cooking meat that has been in the freezer for a while is not a good idea. Fast cooking and fast eating is a better idea.

Joe, just wanted to let you know I eat frozen deer, moose and caribou, some of mine is over a year. Like Tick said the thicker the cut the better.
Tick would LOVE some of your deer roast recipies. I have an excellent one here for moose ribs and roast if you would like to trade?

Bella, don't actually have any recipes, but I always cook venison roasts with bacon on top. I use ground venison like ground beef in chili etc.

I will jump in, although fairly well covered, The year is about where most people start cull out. I would go up to a max of 18 months. Also how it was sealed and of course any 'freezer burn" could cause individual packages to be culled out.

You should use a vacuum food sealer to ensure no freezer burn happens on the meat. I have used a food sealer for years and I still have meat in deep freezer well over a year that's still plenty good. Just putting it in a regular ziplock bag won't ensure freshness and no freezer burn but the vacuumed freezer bags will.

Thank you so much for your answer. Never thought of a vacuum food sealer but that should be my next purchase especially before getting more meat, season coming up soon. Thanks again for the advice.

You can buy a new Rival Seal A meal on Ebay for much less than you can at a store. Also other brands are cheaper on Ebay. Just look at a brand you may like on Amazon to get an idea of what the users say about the unit in their reviews and go from there. The replacement bags are much cheaper on Ebay as well vs buy them at your local store. And they CAN be reused after washing in warm water in the sink with dish soap and a shot of bleach. But be careful not to poke a hole in the bag as it will no longer seal properly. Use scissors to cut open the bag as straight as possible. Knives don't work the same and will leave jagged edges and bag won't seal properly.
Some vaacuum sealed bags can keep meat in a freezer for several years with no problem and no freezer burn.
