Interesting. I guess I should stop aging game on top of my car.
"Remember�aging does not improve the flavor or serve to tenderize game meat. Beef can be aged to become more tender and flavorful because the fat on a domestic cow protects the meat from rotting at 38 degrees. Deer and elk are 90-95 percent lean, and the leaner the meat the faster it deteriorates.
When taking the animal home, keep it cold and out of sight. Do not strap an animal to the top of your car. "
