Unrelated: How do you conserve a whole deer for an entire year? You freeze the crap out of it? lol
We drop them off at a beef farm for processing. They pack it up all nice like you'd get it from a butcher shop, mainly in pound size packaging. We get from 60 to 80 pounds typically. Then it goes in the freezer.
You can also donate them to the poor through the Game Commission I think. It's our family's primary source of meat though. I just empty my freezer by Thanksgiving and it have room for it all. I occasionally find some that's from the last season and it's still always been fine.
Here's one pack of ground meat from last year I still have. We also got jerky sticks, sausage, and stew cubes and loins. They're just wrapped in butchers paper.
Found a tenderloin piece hidden away too.![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/105724d5-5b5c-421d-80aa-ebc4679d8517.jpeg)
