It would help reduce aerobic mold growth,
No guarantees on the timeline from me.
For deer, IMO, there is no need to age longer than the 5 days unless it was a really tough animal.
Minimum is three days to allow the meat to come out of rigor.
After that, aging is decomposition of the tissues.
I find that the meat can get Too "tender" for my liking after 5 days of wet aging.
