Cheers for that, yeah it wasn't in plastic but was in a meat bag.
Just boned out the front legs this morning and smell is in that so while the meat looks okay it is too smelly for me to take a risk. Kind of like meat that has went a day or two over its best by date.

Only safe option is to bin the animal which is a big shame.
Bugger, Bugger, bugger.

if boning the animal out in field which is what I do as im normally miles from the car, I always let hang and cool before I put meat in a pillowcase, makes a good option instead of plastic and if you don't have a meat bag.
Has anyone thought about actually having a big chilly bin in the car with some frozen bottles and put meat in there? It keep it cool straight away , esp on longer jornery home in summer

Yeah it sucks when this sort of thing happens. I've had happen to me too. Slightly different circumstances but resulted in a whole deer been fed for dog tucker. Not a complete waste I know but still gutting.
