The butcher DID advice me on how to handle the bird. I was simply
trying to confirm his answer. After all I did not want to poisen my
entire family on Thanksgiving.

Considering this is an international group of strangers who were given
very little information about the circumstances and who gave you good
straightforward information based on that paucity of data its not
surprising that this was sparse.

And if you trust your butcher why seek confirmation from strangers?

BTW, I have never heard of hanging any poultry product before, that
must be a UK practice.

Try doing a little more research -- there are plenty of references in the
archives of this group and many other US back yarding and foodie groups
and forums where many who have had the birds to deal with have learnt
about the benefits.
It is a practise worldwide

I didn't know that but would have thought so. It improves all kinds of meat,
not just game. In Britain we usually pay more for well hung meat.
