I pulled out my copy of the LL Bean Game & Fish Cookbook. Reading through it, I came across a section discussing the hanging of undressed game birds. Has anyone ever tried this?

The recommendation was 3-4 days, hung undressed by the feet, outdoors with daytime temps no higher than 50, and nighttime temps no lower than 30. You could also place them undressed in the fridge or freeze them undressed. The book also discussed the french method of hanging birds till they fall from their own weight. Thoughts? Comments?
