This is in relation to my tracking and recovery this past weekend. I had thought that the meat wouldn't be any good if I let the deer lay overnight in 56 degree weather. Quite a few have said that the meat would have been fine.

I'm guessing that this is good information for everyone to have, and obviously I didn't have it, so here's the question: What is the highest overnight low temperature that willallow you toleave a deer lying overnight and not have the meat ruined?

This information (that I obviously didn't have), coupled with a simple phone call to check the weather forecast could have a huge impact on what a hunter could/should do in a case like mine Saturday night.
