[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1704339"] Thanks guys It was very cool when I shot him, low 50's. I had him boned out by 0800 and laid the game bags in the shade for a few hours while hiking back for the game packs. I'm regretting leaving the meat in a cooler bagged up but this isn't the first time I've done this in hot weather.. The temp in my shop was low 60's. It's not really a rotten smell just a very pugnent and stinky elk smell. I'm talking way more than I've ever experienced in butchering 12 bulls. Think strong elk urin odor mixed with gut smell.. No urin or stomach fluid got on the meat either.. I wrapped and froze half the meat,and froze the half that I'll grind in a salt brine that I'll thaw out this weekend. I'm thinking the meat is probably safe to eat, guess I'll have to find out... [/QUOTE]
