With our temps, today....just me....but I would give him 4 hours. That'll put you picking up the trail at around 2:00. Temps are on your side, today.....so I would be cautious.
Chances are....he's dead right now. He'll be just as dead in a few hours, though. I wish you luck on your recovery.
I like your thinking, i think ill wait until at least 1:30. Hes a nice buck, real nice for this area. If I had to guess he would just fall short of P&Y
