i agree with what skeeter said, except for the aging part. we've always hung our deer (as long as its cold enough) for at least a week , sometimes 3 or 4 weeks, and i think the meat is better the longer it sits. my dad and i have been doing it this way for a combined total of 60 years, averaging 2-4 deer each and never lost one. just be sure the temp dosnt rise on you and keep it out of the sun. Poor mans filet mignon!
