see...... we only have to use the meat the game book says, then you are not being wasteful and lazy, even though you could technically use almost every other part of the animal you want, the "book" doesn't say you have to.
Okay....I won't leave this thread alone just yet.
No, NEW, you can eat the intestines and the eyeballs if you want, more power to you.
But it seems to me that the MINIMUM amount of the animal that should be reasonably attempted to be retreived for HUMAN consumption is that amount that is REQUIRED by law, at least in the three states where I hunt.
Are you suggesting that we should PICK and CHOOSE which game laws we are going to abide and which ones we aren't? If so, please enlighten me as to what other MINIMUM STANDARD game laws we should ignore and replace/substitute our own standards for in their place.

7mm or heavy buckshot damage.
Ever seen a shoulder that a broadhead stuck into and then the deer ran 100 or more yards with with the broadhead in there working, it's real nice
No one nor the law is referrring to damaged or tainted meat that is deemed not suitable for human consumption. Again most laws (and I can find more if you want) use words as "a reasonable attempt...."
