Ain’t no way that will age properly skin and hair on like that. How does it get air circulation around the meat that way? Dudes gonna kill someone lol
I hang my deer with the hide still on it for four to five days.
If I was running a packing house I would remove the hide to keep hair from getting onto the floor and other deer hanging. It also keeps the outside of the meat from drying out.

I leave one hanging if it’s cool enough outside in the garage hide off for that long. I just thought the point of dry aging was to dry and form a pellicle on the outside of the meat to protect it. And I think it makes pulling the hide off a pure pain in the ass. I like to pull the hide off warm when I can
