shot a doe @ almost dark .was useing bow, i saw the hit .deer ran a few yards then saw arrow fall. (aluminnocks are the best). i watch her run till i could see her anymore . waited 1/2 hour so not to push her.by then it was dark and went to where the arrow was . arrow was . good blood on arrow. with flash light walk the path she ran looking for blood trail and there was none. tempiture all night was in the 50s. looked for a long time and desided to look next morning . well i found her stiff as a board. looked and had shot her in shoulder ( Bone hit)  temp was still in 50s. ( my question is considering the temp and she sat all night will the meat still be good to eat ? ) also if its no good, what are safe temps and is there a time limit on how long they sit and have the meat not spoil.

Since it was a shoulder shot and no guts were damaged, the meat should be fine if it was in the 50's, and you went back early in the morning and found her. Hopefully, no coyotes, coons, or other varmints ate into her and if not then everything should be fine.

Like rt said, no problem. If she sat for more than two days, I would worry. But, since you found her the next morning, the meat should be just fine. Congrats!
