Hanging Game

[Hawg]

We do not hang our deer and we do not wash out the body cavity.

I don't hang mine either but it's usually not cold enough long enough to hang. Unless it's really cold when I make the kill I gut it on the spot and skin it as soon as I get home, then wash it out with a hose. After it's washed I butcher it and freeze it.

I thought that the hanging thing was to let the deer come out of rigor mortis (sp?) before you break it down?

I've eaten deer that was aged and deer that was not aged and both are damn tasty if you cook it right. I guess I'm neutral in this debate.
