Shot a small doe just before dark but it ran off and into some thick stuff. Looked around for about an hour but couldn't find her. Temperature was about 48° at dark and should be down to 34° overnight. If I find her tomorrow morning will the meat still be good? I've never lost one before or had to leave it overnight
It will still be good in the morning. Get there early and see if you can find her. I've done that in the past, and the meat was still good.
