Second thread today its a record. How long do you guys let your deer hang. I use to have access to a freezer and i would let them hang sometimes for several weeks or until i got several ready to go. My freezer is dead. I guess do some of you think its better to let them hang or butcher within the day? Can a guy tell the difference.
Ive heard the basic rule is 3 days per 100lbs . Temperature above freezing and below 40F.
I only hang the deer if i have a really controlled temp as stated above. between 32 and 40 degrees. Then I only hang for a couple of days although I hear you can hang them for up to 2 weeks with the correct temp. If I dont have the correct temp I butcher right away.
