[QUOTE="Apres, post: 231291, member: 846"] I've hung 2-3 does the last 5yrs, some 7 - 10 - and 14 days I only hang the 1/4's backstrap tenderloin trimmings neck etc are fine without aging. I do the 1/4's because it's easier. if you can do hide on you'll lose a little less meat otherwise I use game bags old pillowcases and 2x cheesecloth. The best results have been the 10 day ones 14 you lose a little more meat to the rind 7 days just doesn't seem like it does as much but it's way better then nothing. I do it in my garage in the back corner that has about 4 ft concrete in the ground I don't stress much about the temp as long as it stays below 50 degrees for more then 12 hours a day and the concrete feels cooler then the air i have never had a problem. usually take a fillet knife and trim about an 1/8" off and good to go. I also hang whole pheasants duck geese there to at around 50 degrees but 3 days for smaller birds and 4-5 for geese and it makes them way better. [/QUOTE]
