Can a deer hang before it goes "bad"? I had a buddy ask me this... because he has been hanging a deer for about 2 weeks now. The temps are hovering around 10-15 degrees during the day with lows towards -10. The deer is pretty much a frozen chunk of meat, but the hide is still on. The deer is a 1.5 yr old buck if this makes a difference.

Hunters aren't so different from other environmentalists; we just like to take home souveneirs.
well, if its frozen, it will last fer quite awhile, usually guys let deer hang to let the rigor go away, but depending on the temps, it could be 4-8 days, but your not supposed to freeze it. personally, livin in texas, we dont get to let anything hang outside, have ta use a walk in cooler.

Once I got in warm climates, it was a harvest the deer, get it into the shade, get it home and butcher it. Most meat for the freezer; some for the refrigerator.
And I'll bet 99.8% of deer hunters are not cooking chefs. And for some neither is their wife.
When it's cold my taxidermist will let his deer hang for over 2 months if the temps stay cold enough. I would never do that but he says the meat is awesome when it hangs that long.
