As long as I can if the temp doesn't get much above 40 or way below freezing. Up to 9-10 days if possible.

Left to hang outside with the hide on, 5 days if daytime hi's are 45. Adjust up or down from there. Pinch the meat and smell, it'll tell you when it's time and when it is get to it.

till the meat is cold and hunting is over for the day.
I have done some before fully cold but they don't cut as well.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

How long would you let your deer hang before working it up? As long as you can. Keep it cool and dry. Look up aged beef.

Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

It gets too warm down here to let em hang outside but I like 7-10 days in a walk in cooler. But usually everything gets quartered and into ice chests pretty much as soon as you skin it here. I just processed 3 that I left on ice draining for 10 days.

I just processed 3 that I left on ice draining for 10 days. This is what I do. I have did quite a few that I kept on ice draining for up to 3 weeks. I butcher some for friends and family and they all say how tender and good the steaks taste. I think it helps on the game taste as well.

Minimum 5 days above freezing and below 45. Don't count days below freezing. If its gonna be above 45 it gets quartered and put in the beer fridge. I had one that hung in the garage for almost a month with the hide on because it never got above freezing for about that long. Still tasted good.
