Your good. Rinse it's insides off. It's gonna smell, but the meat is OK.

It happens to all of us at least once. Nothing to worry about

I always rinse mine in a strong salt water brine until the inside is shiny clean. I'd surly do it if the gut was busted.

I gut ASAP then skin and wash with as high a pressure water as I have. Let it air and cool down for bit. Then either soak in ice water for a day then in ice for about 4-5 days or hang the carcass in a clean walkin cooler for 5-7 days. I would pull the tenders and do what Western suggested right away. Might have to discard the ribs at most, rest will be fine since the rest of the quarters and backstrap are outside the body cavity.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?
