Default RE: Meat Still Good?

I once shot a buck when the temps were about 70 and didn' t recover the deer for about 24 hours. I took the deer to a professional butcher for a diagnosis who proclaimed it to be good. We washed every piece (like I always do) and it tuned out to be the best tasting deer we' ve ever had . . . and we didn' t die either!

It' s fine--the guts make it smell bad, but it isn' t spoiled.
