For some reason the hunting community has lost the knowledge of aging birds.

I typically let my birds (waterfowl, upland) rest for a few days before freezing or cooking. There is a definite difference in texture for the better when birds are aged a few days to get rid of rigor mortis.

I haven't tried longer aging for flavor, but I suspect those of the past were doing something right.
