[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2531581, member: 113268"] I never hang my deer regardless of size, age, or gender. I just prefer the flavor. I see where people leave their deer on ice for a period of time but thats not dry aging and probably reduces the flavor even more because its removing blood whereas dry aging concentrates the flavors. Back when I used to pay to have my deer processed, they would hang them for 5 days to a week and I did not notice any real difference in the tenderness of the meat but the taste had a stronger muskier/gamier flavor that would really come out in things like stews and roasts. It made me understand why some people say they don't like the taste of venison. It maybe the way they did it and could be avoided but I have tried several different processors over the years and it all turned out the same so as a result I don't hang deer. I might leave the meat in the refrigerator for a few days uncovered but thats as close as I get. I have yet to try any that has been aged where the flavor was not impacted in a negative way for my tastes. I have seen where people hang their deer for months and say its the best deer they have ever eaten. They always talk about how tender it is but rarely say anything about the flavor. A fresh turd is really tender but I ain't eating it. I admit that I am a girly man and I don't like liver of any kind or any other organ meat. I don't like that gut taste. I also don't like what is referred to as sweat meat. That all being said, the pictures look wonderful.

I know I do it completely wrong but it sure tastes good doing it wrong and I have never had a cityfied non-hunter ever not love whatever venison I cooked for them and I have fed well over a hundred of them over the years.
