I'm going out for my first deer soon and I'm curious about hanging the darn thing once I get it. I've read that I'm supposed to hang it for a week at 40F to age it properly. I doubt it would stay that cold right now in Washington, even in the alpine regions.
Another problem is hanging the deer on public lands. Is it likely to get stolen or eaten by wild animals?
Ideally I'll just take it to the butcher and they'll hang it in their cooler, but short of that, what do you do?
