Amateur here but this is what I do.
Hanging whole : Take tenderloins out and age with skin on. Result = bugger all wastage.
Legs and backstraps : Vacuum pack backstraps immediately and hang legs with skin on = only waste is a thin layer of exposed meat on the legs.
Boned out : Vacuum pack backstraps & tenderloins immediately. Micky Duck's double bucket method or mince immediately(if turning it into mince anyway).
