Default Aging deer meat???

Merry Christmas ya'll,
I have a stupid question. Can you age deer meat after it has been butchered or does it have to hang? I shot my last doe for the season last night and my butcher said he had to process her today without letting her hang. I usually have him hang it for three to four days. I was wondering if I could let it age in the packages for a couple of days in the fridge before I freeze it. Any thoughts on this?
Have a safe and happy New Year.
