Hello i live in delaware and last sat. night i shot a 85 lb. doe.i waited an hour and a half and went back to the farm and found her.when i got her home i gutted her as i always do but since it was warm out i went ahead an skinned her out and quartered the meat and put it in the cooled with ice on it.the next day i cooked one of the backstraps and it was tough as leather.i have harvested many deer and i know how to cook them but ive never seen a young doe so tough.could it be from cutting it up so quick?if so how should i keep the meat from spoiling in the warm weather?thanks
