Venison Expiration Date

I personally have way more faith in lean meat that I harvested myself than I do in meat from the grocery store. I have 0 idea of how that chicken was killed, how it was shipped, or how it's been treated in the store. I know to the hour when my deer died, and how soon they got put on ice or in the freezer.

I would eat last years venison in a heartbeat unless it was green, slimy, and/or stinking like rot.

What if I have some hog meat leftover from 2014 that my dad just found in his freezer from when I moved? I didn’t have my chest freezer at my old apartment so I gave him like a quarter of the animal and license to grill; he never did. Now I have 5.5-year-old meat that I don’t know if I should feed to my 3-year-old and my nursing wife (lol she doesn’t nurse the 3YO before you weirdos ask ;))

Invite some not so close friends over for a game night and feed it to them, then give them a call a few days later to say how much fun you had. If they're still alive then it's still good to eat. PS. I nursed until I was twelve, it didn't hurt me any. My moms nipples on the other hand....... :)

The smell test, fellas. If it passes the smell test you can eat it.

Oh and freezer burn you can trim most of it away and a good citrus/garlic marinade will take care of the rest.

If all else fails drink more until it goes down easy.
