True enough. I agree with you. But it is not apparent that what remains in these pants is just a stain. I think what remains has a crusty, stiff texture. If the matter -- blood, guts, whatever the hell I sat in while gutting my elk -- remains in the pants, it may well decompose and either damage the wool or just plain stink as bacteria attacks this residue. We're talking a big elk and a bucket of blood and guts. To get into the chest cavity to remove the lungs, I had to sit in that darn puddle of blood and guts shown in the picture. So . . . this is what I'm trying to get out of the wool pants. Not a few drops of blood. Also, you sort of have to deal with these creatures as they lie, without jockeying them around. These are big animals. That is probably a 500 LBS elk shown there.
