I get an education in "magnumitis" every time i take a deer to a certain butcher shop in WV.I know the owner pretty well.i always tour the "deer yard." There areusually10-30 deerin a yard outside the shop, awaiting processing.

At least half the deer look like they have been shot with 75mm pack howitzers. Many are shot through both the shoulders and the hams. The butcher shop owner tells me that guys, mostly out of state hunters, bring their shot up deer to be processed and are surprised to get 10 pounds of meat back. They routinely accuse him of stealing their meat.
