RE: Hanging deer how long?
I skin mine as soon as possible and if it's a warm day I bone it out and put it in a frige I keep in the garage. I put down freezer paper on the racks to keep the meat clean and to keep blood from dripping in the frige. I usually leave it in there until the next day and then proceed to cut it up into steaks and roasts. If it's clold evough I'll just leave it hanging and bone it out the next day. I have let them hang for 2 days but usually just overnight.
