Meat Question

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

My dad used to hunt duck, pheasant and deer, but I don't recall him ever addressing this. Something we saw on FoodTV today made Howard and I ask this question: Why is it pheasant and other game birds are often cured by hanging for as much as a week unrefrigerated, yet it is dangerous to leave poultry unrefrigerated? Same with venison, rabbit, and others - Why does the meat not go rancid while hanging?
