    Hanging individual cuts dries them out too much. You could try wet aging. Vacuum pack and then leave in the fridge. I don't like the idea of it, especially for wild game, but it seems to work for some people.

    yeah that should help - you could try and marinate with pulped kiwi fruit for 6 hours before cooking - kiwi fruit tenderizes meat

    Definitely works - no question
    Tried this about 12 months back and thats how I treat all my backsteak now
    Once vacuum packed, it can stay in the fridge up to 3 weeks, and then freeze if necessary
