Common topic around the camp fire... Do you need to age wild game or not
not
beef has marbeling or fat tissue within the fibers
when the fat breaks down (by ageing) it breaks down the fibers and helps the meat become tender
venison has tallow type fat on the outside and not within the fibers
early
My primary point here early is that no, you don't have to age wild game, but I now have first hand experience that it does make a huge difference in the quality of your table fare.
Try it... you'll like it!
