Yes, I get that on the pc but can access it on the iPhone, weird.

Hanging from the aitch bone is only of benefit when you don't have the height for hanging from the hock.

There is an argument that it produces more tender meat in the haunches too (as they aren't stretched during hanging). Effect of pelvic suspension on the instrumental meat quality characteristics of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama) venison

Might be useful if you are going to hang larger deer but I don't see any benefit in your current situation as you have plenty of height for Roe. Packing them tighter will restrict air flow but that's only going to be an issue if you are putting warmer deer in with chilled ones and then chilling for longer periods. If you are happy to pack them tighter then alternate, hang some the by the hock and some by the aitch bone. That's what I normally do.

When I was knocking up ideas to make my style of hanger, some helpful re-search from a SD member showed cattle were hung from a type of "cage"
in the Aitch passage, given the weight also length of them, then not hanging them from the hock would not only save height but not have the huge weight hanging from the hocks in tension.

I do wonder what percentage of people would be able to tell the difference between venison that was hung by the hock or aitch bone. I would probably say very few if any. Although I generally hang them by the aitch bone, this wouldn't be my reason.

I'm happy to stand corrected. In my defence I've never been able to access the Landig website due to a site 'security' issue and if people were ordering a "model" appropriate to the make of deer they shoot, there wouldn't be so many posts about internal height issues on this site.

2 fallow in my Landig 10000, plenty of space to spare and easily accommodates 4 fallow.

Different Landig models, different price points, different sizes……..

The L11000 has an internal height of 2320mm so plenty of height for a Red to not touch the drip tray

Only if your shooting the little Scottish reds no good for a lowland proper red

I just use gambrels and the swivel hooks. I also use some 300mm double ended S hooks from Keith Watson if I want to hang them via the pelvis
