Great job on the recovery!  It appears you just edited your first post.  That makes it a tough read for those just finding it.  You should update the title and then post something new at the bottom.  Just a thought.  :)

I do know deer hit in the intestines and left overnight and recovered the next day aren't fit to eat.  At least that was the case with a buck I shot years ago.  The meat smelled horrible.

It is always better to wait and recover the animal. If the meat goes bad at least you did the right thing and recovered the deer. beside as soon as the heart stops the animal starts to decompose the rate of this depends on the environment that its in. I know this for I work for the Medical Examiner in Jersey.And we hang our deer after we gut them for at least 24hr.( in a cold place) it makes them taste better!!!
