Axis shot last night, found this morning, will meat still be good?

It depends on temperature in the area...

52 degrees when found

Your prolly good, if you got him on ice quickly.. Temps would have been cooler last night right?

[NannySlayer]

Is he bloated/hot?

Or stiff and cold?

I would assume you should be good if you get him on ice fast. Pay close attention to the scent of the meat when processing.

If it was last night, I'd eat him. If that counts for anything.
