It will age just fine on it's back if necessary! For all you early season deer hunters if you have an old chest or stand up freezer & you get one of these ( ) you will turn your old freezer into a very roomy refrigerator. I have been using on myself for several seasons in an old side by side refrigerator that I cut the dividing wall from ( which made it roomier but turned it to a freezer ) & aging deer is much less of a hassle not that I don't care how warm it gets outside. It can also be used with an air conditioner & a well insulated room to create a walk in cooler.
