Probably not but fwiw in my limited experience (and admittedly more than I like), if a deer doesn't drop fast from a vitals hit odds of recovery are very low. Blood trail almost invariably goes light due to clotting, then eventually cold because the deer rarely "bed down and die" as we wish they would.

coyotes, warm weather and gut shots are your biggest threats. You're probably going to lose some meat unless it was a liver hit and you get to it quick enough. It's getting warm in 8F, but even if you lose some meat it's better to get most of it than risk getting none of it by heading back in too quick

If @BKhunter is still out there looking, that meat has definitely spoiled...  :wink:
