Probably to age it. You do know, don't you, that the steaks you buy
in the supermarket have been hanging for around 21 days? While
commercial meat houses hang beef in cool temperatures for long
periods, the tradition for game is to hang it at ambient temperature
for shorter periods. The "gamey" taste of meat harvested by hunting
rather than packaged at the supermarket is in large part due to
insufficient ageing.
