If the meat doesn't smell bad I would consider it okay. I left one over night on the opening day in VA last year and it stayed in the high 70's over night and it was fine the next day. The only thing I didn't keep was the inner tenderloin. Even though that deer sat 14 hours, or however long, there is no telling when it died. It may have only been dead for a few hours when you recovered it. If it looks good and smells good then eat it.

Alright Found him this morning only around 40 or 50 yds from the last sign we found last nite. Was out there before daylight this morning and was looking as soon as I could see. Didn't find any more blood or nothing on where he might of went. It was real thick right in that area. walked in circles around the area but nothing. Decided to get on the 4 wheeler and just search the area the best I could. well I found him and was pretty glad I did was really feeling guilty about the whole situation. Trying to upload photo's but can't seem to get it done will try again.
Now that's the way to get it done Okee! Anyone can get'em when they fall insight, way to stay the course and see it through!
