Is hog meat still good if not skinned until the next morning?

Shot a ~150 lb hog last night at 5:20. She ran into a thicket and I couldn’t find her due to my light sucking and my not wanting to dive into a thicket after a potentially wounded hog. Was mid to upper 40s all night. Just found her about 30 min ago. Is it worth my trouble to skin her or is there anything I should look for to tell if the meat is bad?
TIA - this is my first hog to kill so not sure how sensitive hog meat is

Definitely.
I try to only hunt < 50 degree nights for that reason. Ideally I like to retrieve, field dress then hang up in my shed to skin next day.

Post a pic. I'm probably the only one here whose favorite thing to hunt is wild hog. I like to joke with other club members and tell them the more ther merrier.

this is why you have taste buds and scent glands. If it smells bad or tastes bad, dont eat it. Who skins hogs? We dip them in a barrel of hot water and shave them.

Turn it all in to sausage, smoke it to 150 or 160 and you'll be good.
