How do you preserve elk meat?

Hanging meat should be stored between a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and freezing in a clean, dry, well ventilated area with no odors. During late season hunts, meat can likely be hung in a cool garage, patio, or north side of a structure.

What is the best way to wrap meat to freeze?

But our recommended method is actually to wrap the meat in butcher or freezer paper. This is a waxy coated paper (the waxy side should go towards the meat, with the paper side out). Wrap your cut of meat tightly in this paper, and tape it shut. Then wrap the whole package in an airtight layer of aluminum foil.
