The butcher wrap is faster, but not as air free as the drug store wrap. The meat is placed in the center of a square piece of freezer paper. Fold one corner over the meat. Then fold the two side corners over the meat. Roll over toward the remaining corner to provide a complete wrap around the meat.
Tape ends to avoid air leaks and dehydration.
Packages should be labeled to identify the contents as venison, the date, name and hunting permit number of the owner. Venison given to another person should have a statement attached indicating the person who harvested the deer, his hunting permit number, and the name of the person receiving the venison. Deer meat may be legally stored until June 1 following the hunting season. A cold storage permit tag should be attached to each package stored in a commercial locker. Storage permit tags are available at no cost from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission .
