hang game and skin as soon as practical.. (already gutted).. if you need to clean the carcass with water, do so, and then pat dry with clean towels..wrap carcass with cheese cloth or put in cheese cloth bag.. let hang at 34-38 degrees for 3-5 days for a deer, longer for bigger game.. this is "dry aging"...with this method, the carcass will have dried/crusty parts on the surface which need trimmed off and discarded while butchering cuts.. cuts can be packaged and frozen right away.. you could also, after towel drying the carcass, quarter the animal and wrap the quartered hunks of meat with cheese cloth and age in fridge and then just finish the cuts (taking quarters down to steaks and roast) and package and freeze.. this is "dry aging" and gives the meat the best flavor and most tender..the downfall of dry aging is the loss of meat from the surface due to dehydration and the time consumed...but...well worth it!! "wet aging" is cheapest/easiest... butcher down to cuts and place cuts, right away, into vacuum packed plastic with cuts in own juices.. leave in fridge 2-3 days and freeze.. in dry aging the natural enzymes in the meat start to break the tissue down, tenderizing it and dehydrating the meat some (concentrating flavor) in wet aging the cut has its own juices vacuumed into it making it juicier and more tender... dry is the way to go but wet works in a bind.
