if it is above 70 I will still be in the stand, just won't drop the string on one unless it is within 15 yards and I know for certain I can put a slam dunk shot on it. I only take one deer to the processor for summer sausage, so if I get one when it's warm it gets gutted, iced, checked in, butchered, and too the freezer in the same evening. If I was going to have to take it to the processor I would probably pass on it until cooler temps. I can drive my truck all the way to the woods so once the deer is down I can have it gutted and out of there in minutes. Carry out right down the road for ice then it's to the check-in station.
