I am not a steak Man since the wife does not eat steak and it is hard to cook to different meals at the same time. So I grind all my deer into burger. You can feed burger to most anyone and they will never know. The BB I shot this year was in freezer in about sixteen hours after shot, good eats there! I do not think deer in general are though like beef and the hang thing is not needed IMO. So far a button buck and a 2 1/2 year old buck do not need aged to me, both tender compared to a cow. Will need to try this on a old doe next, but so far I am not into the aging thing.
