I have found that briefly freezing my game or fish (20 mins or so) before vaccuum sealing provides a much tighter seal and seams to prevent air pockets or poor seals due to blood/moisture within the bag. That being said, I have had properly sealed game go over two years in the deep freezer and still cook up as tender and tasty as day 1!
