There are some guys over on the Hunt Talk Forum that are aging big game for a week or quite a bit more. Just not for me.
Nothing beats elk tenderloins cooked on an open fire while you are butchering out the animal minutes after killing it. Or a moose steak in a pan the night that you shot it. Like this one. The best steak I ever ate.

Location and context probably matters.
Man, that moose steak does look good!
I shot my moose eight years ago and right now the very last piece, a 2 pound chunk of backstrap, is being cured in the refrigerator, similar to an Italian bresola.
