Did my doe spoil?
Here' s the scenerio. I shot and hit a doe Wednesday night at 7:00 PM. The sign was not very encouraging so we backed off to wait for morning. It was around 55 degrees when I shot her, it got down to 47 degrees over night. I recovered her the next day (Thursday morning) at around 10:30 AM. I had her quartered and in the freezer by 12:00 PM. It was around 55 degrees when I recovered her about 15 hours after the hit. The hit caught some of the stomach so the oder was terrible. Is the meat edible?
