Organization wise I like the upright freezers. I can fit 3 fully processed deer in a standard Upright freezer. I agree with this, easier to organize with a stand up freezer. In my opinion anyway. Also, I’d get as big as you can, that way you can fit more venison, or fish, or whatever else.

I took some of your advice. I went to Lowes to buy a freezer. The stand up freezers were $1000! We bought the 7.7 cubic ft. chest freezer. Its perfect!

I grind about all my meat. Usually 5-6 per year. We vacuum seal. No problems within two years in a frost free upright, or a chest. having 2 chest freezers and an upright I don't always get to the bottom of them very often . I was doing a little cleaning in 2020 and found some 2016 vacuum packed ground venison and it was just fine when we ate it,
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Chest freezers are way cheaper than upright freezers..at least they are in our neck of the woods.

Have one of each and I'll never own another chest style. No doubt in my mind they have contributed to a huge amount of wasted food that gets buried and forgotten about for the next 10 years. My wife is 4'-10", ask her which one she absolutely hates lol....
