Its been my experience, that getting the deer gutted should be done fairly quickly. Now I hunt in Florida, or Georgia mostly, and its not always as cold as it is up North. Still, you need to cool the body cavity pretty quickly, to keep spoilage down and to insure that the meat is edible later.
I have no problem leaving the hide on, in fact, I prefer to hang the deer in the cooler with the hide on, and skin it after a week or so.
