We do that with all of our venison. We freeze it and then vacuum seal it. No blood or juice to mess things up.

Same here Moose. I make 50-70 pounds of apple-venison sausage patties at a time. I you try to vacuum-seal before freezing they really distort. I vacuum-seal six to a bag and they tend to mush into one big patty if I try to vacuum before freezing.
So I set the patties on cookie sheets with two layers of waxed paper between layers of patties and go about 6-8 layers high depending on when the bottom layer starts to distort. Then thety go in the freezer for twenty-four hours and get vacuum-sealed after that.
Sometimes I'll wait until a really cold day/night (teens/low-twenties) and just set the patties out on the deck to freeze. Wife doesn't like that, she's always afraid some varmint comes along and has a feast with all out hard work.
My freezers are usually not very full at venison processing time, the last year's venison having been mostly consumed by then.
