Should be fine if hide is still on. 50° is no good but packed with ice should be ok

Doesn't necessarily help you now but this is what I do with my deer. I don't really have a place to hang for extended times nor a deer fridge.

I usually skin and quarter my deer as soon as I get them home. I then put them in my Orion cooler. Ice on the bottom of the cooler, two two by fours set on the bottom of the cooler then racks on top of the ice and 2×4s. I put the quarters on the racks then loose cuts in a tray that sits on top. Let it sit in there for a controlled environment to personal preference. Also works well for transporting from deer camp to home.

Like I said doesn't necessarily help now but maybe a thought for the future. Congrats on the success.

You will be fine to cut em up tomorrow. You've taken good care of the meat! Enjoy the fine table fare, and congratulations on the deer! You did good man!

I agree with everyone else it’ll be fine. One day isn’t enough to offset the cold we had. On top of that you packed em with ice.

I always panic as well when the temps get in the 40’s but it’s always ok.

Might be a little late on my reply but in warmer temps like that the ice is a great idea also an old heavy blanket around the carcass if you have one that keeps the cold concentrated but one day won't hurt you should be good
