I've been known to throw away meat. One time, it just tasted nasty..weird tasting. Another time, the meat had a nasty smell.

More recently, I was at the Elk processor. Guys were coming in with Elk in 80 degree weather. The Elk was warm to the touch. Sat out the entire night, gutted & skinned. I'm not sure I would have eaten it. I spoke to them, and they weren't concerned.
