If the meat freezes on the carcass that same day you killed it, it won't harm
the meat but it won't be the same quality as if it had aged two or three days
unfrozen.

It will make a difference even if you can it. The quality of the meat
doesn't improve with canning. If the meat is a bit tough (what happens if
you don't
age it), it will still be a bit tough when it's canned, tougher at least than
if it had aged beforehand.

At the very least you would want rigor to come and go.
