Thread: Overnight meat recovery - thoughts?

Are you guys talking about leaving overnight not gutted ??

I shot a Spiker in Thermal at 4am - tried to light into it immediately in gorse and crap
Gave up quick and thought go back in daylight
Back barely 90 mins later - found it
Had foam coming out its arse and mouth
Actually found it by the stench

Walked away

I must be fussy
But no way would I dress and eat an animal not gutted within a short time

I plucked plenty of dead sheep when a kid - so its not the smell (not to mention Possum skinned belly black/green)
Just cant eat something like that
Prob "mind over matter"
