How long will it last?

[chadreed88]

How long can you keep a deer on ice before the meat starts to ruin? I have some that have been on ice with the water drained several times a day and was wondering how long it will last.

Ive doen it for 2 weeks MANY times!

I've done it at least 10 days before....just keep ice covering it and keep draining the blood water off.

I'm always leaving them on ice for at least 7 day in the back of my truck. Then when I get time process it all at the same time.

All depends on how cold you keep the meat.

Two weeks with no problems.

2 weeks is a good time. Cellular decomposition takes place and may get a green hue to it. 2 weeks is a good middle ground. This is "aging" and in a resteraunt you would pay good money for this process. It makes it very tender and in MHO it doesn't taste as gammy.As atated earlier, keep cover with ice and drain often.
