I find 'em and skin 'em asap. Then I put them in the cooler and let them sit for a couple of days then awayI go to quartering the deer up. Also, I tend to not wait as long to go get the deer in the early season. I give em about 30 minutes and then I am going to go after them. I may spook one one day and it get away from me, but if I leave it for two hours, I am not going to trust the meat anyways. Either way I go I could get screwed.
