Rutting bou meat is HORRIBLE! Even quartering a buddys bull this year was nasty in itself!!!

I thought the exact same Jerry, I am here to tell ya, DONT shoot one come mid oct!!! They tried every way concievable to make it edible, no go! From sausage and jerky to hamburger and soaking.....it reaks!

The theory is the bulls are "drinking" the urine of the females (first year I had heard of this). Their livers can only handle so much before the acids take over the meat.

This bull was handled with the UTMOST care as we give to all of the game kills I am on, clean as a whistle, and boy he was rancid!

Just my .02 after more then a few lateseason bou kills, this is number 2 non edible of 5, 2 of the 5 were early season bulls, the 2 bad ones were mid, the last bull was also a mid oct bull and was good. I think its a chance I dont care to take again!
