[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5761316, member: 20060"] You would think so but no. As long as you drain the water daily it is fine. Ideally you should keep the meat above the waterline, but besides making the processing a bit more difficult because of the gelatinous membrane that develops on the outside portions where the hide was it doesn't affect taste IMO. I do allow the carcass an hour or two of hang time to drain as much blood as possible, which you are correct in saying it's what gives deer more of a gamey taste. I also put the quartered venison in cotton bags, which tells me if it's in water or not. I keep the ice bagged when possible, I even purchased empty ice bags for this purpose. [/QUOTE]
