Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Organizer ideas for chest type freezers?

This is my solution as well. Will never voluntarily buy another chest freezer if an upright is an option.

Just got a dozen of the tote bags. I think I am going to like this system in conjunction with milk or container store crates. Keep everything to two tiers maximum should work out well. I may still put in an overhead pulley as it is hard on old backs to lift in awkward positions, depends on how heavy the crates are.

I used to mark the vacuum sealed bags of meat as to species and year.

It was suggested that if I was ever inspected by F&W, it would be a whole lot less explaining to do if the bags were just marked with the year.

We are pretty much deer hunters with the very rarely drawn (now) antelope. I also don't really care and will mix WT and MD meat together (we almost exclusively grind and use the burger for hamburgers, meatballs, chili, spaghetti sauce, lasagna etc.). There is no appreciable difference in taste.

Not sure if removing deer from the bag label would make a difference, but it made sense when I heard it (I've forgotten).

We use sturdy cardboard boxes to organize the chest freezer.
