Deer cool off pretty quickly. Elk or moose keepheat inmuch more efficientlyand will spoil if left in the woods overnight (usually). It seems to me that most of those people on TV don't give a crap about the meat at all as long as they get their horns. That's sad.
AGREED! I see it on line all the time... Guys just worried about the horns!
As for the meat, normally hunting is in the fall, and the cool night temps will keepa deerfrom spoiling durning the night. I've never had a moose spoil over night either...
