Should still be good, but you should be able to tell by the smell and look of the meat. Was it uncovered in the fridge?

Probably going to have to be fed to the dogs. Unless you meant you kept it in your freezer.
 

If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?

I'd say if it smells and looks fine, then you're good to go.

I usually age my deer in the refridgerator for a week anyway. I've heard some guys do it for two weeks. There is always an inherent risk when you eat any meat though, store bought or self harvested.

should be fine. i would not leave it in there over a week but 4 days should be fine. the more ideal temp you fridge has (under 42 deg) and the less humidity it has the longer it will keep.

The November issue of Field and stream talks about this.  Per them you are fine.  I would say your going to have some trimming loss because oxygen on that open muscle will turn it brown in color.  Though not probably bad i wouldn't eat it.  Once trimmed up the nice red meat in the muscle will be some tender goodness most likely.

 In Aug our Caribou sat out in open air on a blue tarp for 6 days and spent almost 2 more in backpacks getting home.  I trimmed off the brown stuff and the rest is tender and flavorful.

I'd be much more concerned with freezing it twice than I would leaving it sit out in the cool for a week or even 2.  I'm not shy whenI trim though either.

You're good to go.  If you don't think so, just bring it to my place.  I'll make sausage out of her.

Yep, we age 7-14 days.

Anybody even heard of anyone getting sick from aged venison? I think getting nasty sick is all about e-coli contamination, not your typical meat tendering bacteria that break meat down in the fridge.

Don't forget salmonella.

Not that I recall. But there is always a fist time for everything.

If it smells fresh, then it should be just fine.  In fact, more than tender do to good aging
