Would you consider birds that have aged a week in the fridge ok? Two weeks? I know a guy that aged snipe for 3 weeks. Depending on how cool the weather I usually hang woodcock outside for 3-4 days or put in the fridge whole and unplucked for the same amount of time. More out of laziness than purposeful aging. I wouldn’t feel comfortable aging them any longer than that. I dont gut then either and have never had any issues. Link to post Share on other sites
