Default Shot the Deer... Now what?

I'm probably opening a big can of worms here... but this is something I'd like to have relatively figured out BEFORE I harvest my first Ohio deer.

I'm pretty familiar with the HOW to gut and skin a deer from experience on the 2 NC deer I harvested 5 years ago or so, and I picked up a gambrel (just how I like to do it).

However, I have never bow hunted. So, I'm wondering after I shoot... and track if necessary... how long do i have to skin, gut, and get the deer to the butcher? I really want my wife and kids to be supportive of this hobby, and the last thing I want is gamey meat!
