If it helps, I was in a similar situation for the opener.  Got my deer in eastern Washington early in the morning.  Drug it out whole to the nearest road and went to get my truck. Battery was left on  :bash: and it was dead. Ran back and gutted the deer and cleaned the inside cavity with dry washclothes put it in the shade skin on.  The shade temp was 68 and it stayed there all day hung on a tree in the shade. Didn't get the truck running until after dark and skinned it the next day.  It is the best tasting meat I have ever had.  Could be that I just got lucky but leaving the skin on seemed to prevent the hard crust from forming on the outside. :twocents:

I killed a bear I was worried about last year. It smelled funny to me, but I was told its just because bears stink. The bear I killed before that didn't stink like that though. Not sure, maybe it was just the diet but it ate fine and the people at the meat shop even smelled it, didn't say it smelled bad  :dunno:

Good luck hope its all still good

any animal left over night with the guts in it will be spoiled, even if in the snow, i worked at a butcher shop for 5 years and we took in high volumes of game and i only saw a few where we salvaged the front shoulders, never leave an animal in the field overnight with the guts in it, in the future if u have an animal in the woods overnight get it to a fridge or meat cooler asap and hope for the best u should cut it up within 2 days of being cooled
