If you shoot a deer and can't find it until the next day, is it safe to have it butchered and eaten? Here in Ohio, the morning hunt temperature for gun season in late November and the start of December can be between 25 and 45 degrees. So, if the deer is shot when the temp is above freezing, lost and not found until the next morning, what is the "safe" and proper way to care for the carcuss?
