RE: Whacked one....Blue Undies strike again.
YES BUTT....... it doesn't do a lot for scent control.[8D][:'(] I just got through skinning and cutting this bad boy up. He had a spot on his hind quarter I thought was a muzzleloader wound or something at first. When I skinned it out I found a small little blood clot and a hole(more of a tear) about 1/2 inch long and 3/4 inch deep. But the funny thing was, no hole in the hide. There was some blood glot stuck to the back side of the hide and it was a little discolored from the injury...but not hole in the hide. I figure it must have been another buck rammed him and tore the muscle. REally weird. I know it wasn't from the knife as I just pulled the hide down and the hole and blood clot were there. Strange deal.
Another strange one, this deer only left about 2 drops of blood on the ground. His chest had a blood clot the size of a couple football in it. I guess the junk from the liver plugged it. Even where he stood there was no blood. If he had run it would have been a hard trail.
