I never age mine, I just skin, de-bone and bag it up in a 55 gallon black plastic garbage bag and put it straight into the freezer until I'm ready to cut it up and process it into whatever I'm doing. Will be good for a very ling time that way. I usually find and I mean no disrespect in saying this but I usually find that folks that have to soak and do special things to their deer meat in order to get it to not taste like deer meat really honestly don't like deer meat in the first place. Again no disrespect at all.

Romans 8:1-2
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, for the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of Sin and Death"
