what is the longest you have left deer meat in ice chest on ice?

1 week. Then froze it. Then ate it. Still alive

10 days....process....freeze....enjoy

I got the record on this one I bet.

Almost a month in trash bags on ice in ice chest.

Best most tender venison anybody ever put in their mouths.

Beef is not considered aged until it's 21 days old. All choice steaks served in restaurants are aged. Wet aged meat, which is meat vacuum sealed and refrigerated, can be aged upwards of 60 days. Best steak I've ever eaten was a filet from a loin I let age for 82 days. As long as you keep the meat refrigerated between 33-36 degrees or on ice you will be fine.

all true, to me the only bad thing about leaving venison covered in ice is that it loses the deer flavor, which is why i hunt it in the first place.

Deer meat on ice?

I ice mine as well with the plug open to drain for 5-7 days. My previous post was in regards to some people on here's reaction to that.
