Default Hanging moose??

Hey guys, just wondering how long is too long to hang moose before it goes bad.
A friend of mine shot a moose two weeks ago, he gave me a leg and I managed to get a bunch of it cut up a few days later but havent had time since. so the rest of it has been hanging in a shed beside my house (mostly in the shade) since then. Just wondering if its still good to use. It doesnt smell or look bad or anything.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Schian

If it doesn't stink I'd cut it up. Should be fine

Smell is a good indicator

Temp around two degrees is pretty good. Cold but not freezing

Cut it up and freeze it soon.
