[QUOTE="Bri-guy, post: 191139, member: 1444"] I've done both and like both depending on my situation. I honestly don't buy into the "aging" of wild game. There's no fat to break down in the muscle fibers like there is in a grain-fed cow. I have hung a deer for 10 days and really didn't notice any difference. If you do the gutless method correctly, there's not much more hair than if you hang it and skin it. And there's a lot less gut goo on your hind quarters too. That's probably the biggest benefit of the gutless method for me. I think I get more burger meat when I hang it because I'll take chunks out of the flank, neck, etc. for a few extra pounds of meat. The best and most tender deer I have taken have been bow kills where I let them sit overnight and rigor mortis set in before I found the deer. It's not ideal in coyote country, but there was a big difference in those deer and some decent research to back up this theory. [/QUOTE]
