Flavor profile is equally as good between the 2 day and 4 day. I know there are still variables in this experiment that can't be undone i.e.. cooking variations, and individual bird variations. But the 4 day bird is noticeably more tender even being slightly more cooked than the 2 day bird. Food for thought FWIW.

I'll go 6 or 7 days in the garage with whole birds if the temps are OK, say 40-50 F in the garage.
Now you made me look forward to October even more than before.

Wish I had some homemade elderberry wine. My plate would still not be as nice, but I'd like to try it.

That steak is done perfectly

Not very impressive plating, but found a stray muley tenderloin from last season in the freezer. Pan seared in cast iron and finished with some garlic brown butter beside mushroom risotto and broccoli.

Got a bunch of family coming this weekend so I pulled out a mule deer neck roast out of the freezer. Started it on the grill and then finished it in the oven. Pulled venison sandwiches should keep everyone full!

I just so happen to have them in the freezer. Just too busy/lazy to get it started. Maybe when the field season is over… but it won’t be ready to imbibe until next season then
