Sorry just saw this ..
For the last 7 yrs I’ve done the same , or should I say my butcher has .
He has a huge walk-in that he leaves skinned deer hanging in for 7 days or more.
This deer was done the same as I’ve been going to him as I said , for 7 years .
Ive for sure shot bigger deer than this one but NEVER had the backstraps be tough like this one .
And I cook them rare …
