Uhh... Hard one. I think if the deer was in the shade and the gut bag was intact, It ought to be okay. Don't take my word for it though although I asked my dad who has hunted here all his life and he said if it was in the shade, the meat was cool, and the gut bag still intact it ought to be okay. Never had one lay that long though. Man!! Your just gonna have to decide I don't really know. Legs should be good though!
