Go all "Dexter" on the thing.
Plenty of plastic sheeting on the floor and slice her open. 2 hours is absolutely fine.

Ensure the bowels are intact, string it up skin it but it and bleed it. Inspect the meat for brushing. If it looks good and healthy I'd say you're fine. There is only one other caveot I can think of. If it died of disease it would also look as you stated...Like not damaged at all. If hit by a car bones will be broken somewhere...If it died of disease you won't find a cause of death visually most likely. Be aware as you process it. If it looks too clean it may be wise to not eat.

Before what i've done is find a local butcher and let them have a share for the effort of the butchery in the morning. Game quite often will take weeks to hang properly anyway so an evening or two won't really make much effort just nick its neck and pop it out of the way of the local wildlife and job done.
You could make black pudding if you fancy it but you'll need to start sharpish really and keep it in doors but if you're hanging it outside then cut and drain the blood and let it rest.
