Be sure to get it hanging soon. Lying on the ground will hold heat. one day packed with ice, in the shade I agree you are probablly all right, but even if the temps are in the 50s, my preference is to get it right to the butcher or quarter it onto ice ASAP. I know too many guys who have thought, well, I guess it will be ok overnight now...and lost the deer.
