Sswpriz, exposed meat not likely to be good? I am sure you mean that with qualifiers/variables such as temp, cleanliness, etc...? I say this, as I have never had a problem with spoilage or other issue from splitting the pelvicor from letting deer cut from chest through pelvic hang for up to 3-4 days in cool enough weather.
i agree, i hat to butcher my buch right away on opening day cuz it was warm this year, but it usually not uncommon for me to let them hang for a few days in low enough temps
