RE: Is this deer meat spoiled?
Sounds like the meat should be fine. Make sure to test the tenderloins first. If they taste good, then the rest will be ok. Did you have to tag it? Usually you don't hear about game wardens giving carcasses away. In Idaho I had a similar situation. Supposed to be against thelaw, but I thinksome game wardens would rather see the meat put to good use. Good Luck!!
