How long do you let your deer cure before processing? Here in Michigan, it's usually cold enough for me to let it hang at least a week, which is my prefernce!

I get it to the processor within a day, if possible. When bowhunting, it is sometimes too warm to let it hang. When it is cold and I am camping I don't want it to freeze. Processor typically only lets it hang for a day at the most. I am not convinced that curing helps the taste of the meat. I have been told that hanging them asap by gambrels rather than the head to help drain the blood from the prime meat matters more.
