Default jugged hare

I was told of a method of hanging the rabbit or hare in a tree and allowing
it to become fly-blown. Apparently, the flies and/or maggots eat the guts
and when the flesh is almost green it is taken down, washed and cooked. This
was told to me by someone who, many years ago, worked in a German-settled
area of South Australia and this was how they did it there. I'm aware
pheasant is hung and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about this
practice.

Thanks
