RE: Why do people hang their deer for a few days?
Mine hangs and ages for at least a week. If it's too warm out it gets skinned ASAP and goes into my aging fridg for at least a week at 34deg. It takes the gamey taste out of them..As for tenderness, maybe a little more tender but that has a lot to do with the way the meat is cooked also..
Processors want high throughput...period...Volume = money = high throughput, hence the reason they do not age them.
I've never heard anyone recommending that the meat not be aged, that's a new one..
