Hit a deer with my car how long is the meat ok unrefrigerated?!
Hit a deer last night at about 2 am and gutted it on the side of the road!. Got home and hung it in the garage till about noon and butchered it and froze the meat!. The garage was probably 47-50 degrees overnight!. It all looked really nice but I just want to make sure it’s safe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The meat should be fine!. If you field dressed it correctly & the temp stayed that cool, you should have NO worries!. Sorry for your vehicle and hope no one was injured!. You followed proper guidelines and laws by tagging it, I personally applaud you for NOT letting the meat go to waste!. I'm from Carolina and was brought up hunting, fishing etc!.!.!.I would have done the same thing!.!.!.I'm not a "redneck", hillbilly or barbarian, have all my own teeth & I'm college educated & a female!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's probably good, sometimes it take a lot longer to get a deer to the freezer than that!. Unless you followed the proper procedure for taking roadkill in your area you should delete your post!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Road Kill! Mmmmmmmm good!. I don't think you would have a problem if you eviscerated it and let it bleed out!. You have to get rid of the musk glands on the feet as soon as possible too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have no idea, but interesting story!. If a bit off-putting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

awwwwwwwwwww poor thing how could you !? such an innocent animal !.!.!.!.SHAME ON YOUWww@FoodAQ@Com
Should be perfectly fine!. If the car hit any hind leg meat, or ruptured the intestines, then that meat might not be too good, but as long as you know what you were doing, it shouldn't be too bad!. Last night was a good cold night for that!.
I grilled and smoked a deer leg the other week that I've had in the freezer for a while because my mother hit a deer in the head with her car, and the meat was all good!. She's the only one in the family that's gotten a deer the last two times!. Apparently me and my step dad don't hunt right!. The true trick to getting a deer apparently is to be blasting a horn and flashing headlights at it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
