At what temp. is it safe to wait untill morning before processing a whitetail deer?
Hunting man I am hunting about 100 miles from my house and will have to get home to process my deer. This is hypothetical but important . If I Kill in the morning but want to stay in the hunting area for my son to have an evening opportunity will my deer be ok all day. Temps should be fairly low in Dec. In Kansas. And I am planning to field dress and cover with a tarp in the bed of my truck if nessecaryI like 38-42* for hanging temp. but for just overnight with the hide off anything under 48* should be ok.
One thing not to do is put a dark tarp over the deer with the sun heating things up. With cool temps you should be ok. If there's any question and you can get to a store, put bags of ice in the chest cavity then cover it up.
My "tarp" is actually a white painters canvas drop cloth !!! If thats ok.x2!!!!!!!!
