RE: Deer found next day....meat OK?
I would say if it doesn't smell bad, it should be good and that rule hasn't let me down yet. But I am from the north and don't really have to deal with those situations.
My dad is a police officer and whena deer gets hit and the driver doesn't want it they usually call him. If one gets hit during the summer, we don't even bother taking the deer.
Maybe you should try posting this in one in the South regional forum. You have a better chance of getting more relevant info since almost everyone that posts in that forum is from the south.
