Do you age your deer with the skin on or off?

One to two days hide on. That is if the temps are low enough

Rut buck the hide comes off as fast as I can to help reduce the smell of the glands or urine possibly contaminating the meat. A doe or buck not during the rut completely depends on weather if it is warm I skin and get them in the cooler if it’s cold I sometimes leave the hide on so the meat doesn’t dry out.

I hang 5 days gutted with hide on, if the temps top out at 45 degrees during the day. Warmer I cut sooner, colder wait longer. Pinch the meat and smell it, it will tell you when it’s ready.

No ageing here, shoot it one Day hangs over night.
Cut it up the next.
Just like pork and lamb, it's how locker plant do it.
Beef is different it's got fat marbling in it so it benefits from age.
But each to there own.
Let me sugar coat this

About 3 to 5 days if 45 degrees or less, no freezing till wrapped. Always rinse the cavity, prop open to dry. Most important to me is hang from both rear tendons, upside down.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Skin on, otherwise the outer layers of meat dry out. I like to age my deer 7 to 10 days temperatures permitting. And it absolutely, without a doubt, improves the quality of the meat.
Eh...wot?
