Hi chaps, I'm looking for some advice.
I've got some home minced venison in the fridge and it doesn't look too special! I was thinking that fresh meat, prepared the day after it was shot and kept chilled since should last for a good seven days? Am I wrong? The main cuts look and smell fine but the mince is definately not right. Where did I go wrong? I'm most annoyed that I've wasted it really, but I'm sure last time I prepped a Deer I kept a lot of it in the fridge for some time before freezing and it was ok. Maybe I ate the mince more quickly so didn't notice?
So, how long do you trust it for before freezing?
