Cody I would never let something I'm gonna eat hang outside any longer than I have to...   I skin it as soon as I get it home and start butchering it the next day even if its cold enough....
As far as tenderizing it I take it out of the freezer as much as 7 days before we eat it and leave it in the refrigerator emptying the blood out every day...    just my opinion and how I do it..
Aging meat in the right conditions is the way to go Dom, Beef has to age a month before it's considered Choice  ;)

   Right conditions is the key...   Not outside hanging from a tree in the wind and sun...   Unless you have a walk in cooler, I think the refrigerator is a controlled temperature and the way to go... But like I said,  its JMO... 8)

I think a lot of what has been said is true, and there are still factors that are unknown or not controllable.  I have collected just one really large buck in my lifetime.  He was great.  I got a spikehorn 3 years ago that was surprisingly tough.  I agree it is better if they drop on the spot, or close to it.  I am not sure why that is, but it's what I have seen.  As far as aging venison, I agree with DD that under the right circumstances it is a good thing.  But that means controlling the temperature and humidity, not an easy thing for us amateurs.  And dealing with a frozen carcass is no fun.  We have a butcher in Hunt, NY who will hang deer during bow season under controlled temperature and humidity.  It's the best and I gladly pay his processing fee.  Back to the question, "Are does better tasting?"  Maybe, I don't know.  I like them all!  jperch
