Thread: How long to let red deer rest?

I put all the meat in a canvas meat bag from huntech & leave in fridge on a rack so blood can drip out off meat usely leave for a few days to a week just depends on time I use to put in roasting dish & put gardwrap over the top but did have meat go off in less than 5days at one stage I put it down to blood not geting away so change my way of doing it & never had a problem since
