Default RE: How long will the meat be good?

If your search tomorrow starts at 10:00AM you're pushing the limit, with the temperature being what it is. What can make matters worse is, if you punctured the gut. Nevertheless if the meat's gone you will get that unpleasant smell, and will see some signs of the meat turning 'green'.
Sometimes you can some pepperettes out of it when the meat is at the border line.
However you should at least make the effort to find the deer--you owe that much to yourself--I would sneak out of work a bit earlier--if you can find her by 7:15- 7:30 AMand get the gut out of her immediately then the meatshould be fine. The presenttemperature isn't in your favor, unfortunately.
