[QUOTE="Stumpsitter, post: 5145935, member: 20678"] I’ve shot deer early in the afternoon and wanted to stay till dark, I generally just go get them field dress them close to my stand put a stick in the chest cavity to keep it spread (helps with cooling) and I get back in the stand. I’ve done this several times in cool temperatures 40 or less. I shot a nice 8pt one evening about dark and it was warm. I could not find him and it was probably in the mid 60’s that night, first thing the next morning found the blood trail and walked straight to him arrow was still in him covered in ants. I gutted him put ice in him and got him to a cooler quick. It did no good. We got him back cooked some meat and it was tainted, stunk up the house cooking it. Had to throw it all away, made me sick. I think if the guts are left in them for a while is when you start running into bacteria and spoilage. [/QUOTE]
