No problem whatsoever. Take the skin off and keep it dry.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I got two bags of ice in mine, and wrapped with a tarp for good measure

I clean out milk jugs and fill them 3/4 with water and put them in my chest freezer for just this sort of thing.I fill the cavity with 2 of them,,then tie a third one between the hams.You can keep them quite a while like that.I leave skin on because it helps keep the cold in.But to answer you question,,if you going to get at it tomorrow,,,I wouldn't worry.

Two bags of ice and he's hanging In the garage? How about a photo? Meh, just a basket rack. Not really photo worthy. Maybe I'll take one in the morning. Only about a 15" spread. With the price of beef these days, I'm meat hunting this year. I have a doe tag to fill yet.

46*, there was no need for ice. But congrats.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

We would have died out centuries ago if meat went bad in 46 degree weather. Also…you can leave the pizza box out over night and eat it the next day. Best pizza ever!!
