Down deer overnight
I was successful this past weekend with a doe being taken at dusk. I lost the blood trail and returned the next morning. The overnight temperatures only dropped to 65 degrees. I found her around 9am the next morning swollen. In addition to her being swollen, she had a grapefruit sized mass (tumor-like) on her belly. I tagged her on a deer-control tag and didn't feel comfortable butchering an amimal that had stayed overnight in those temperatures, as well as, theat tumor. My conscience still bothers me. Any insight, folks?
