Gut shots safe to eat?
I shot a doe the other night at 9 yards with my bow...she took two bounds looked back and piled up 18 yards from me very quickly. When I gutted her because she was slightly quartering towards me the arrow ended up going into the stomach apparently because her body cavity was FULL of very bloody smelly stomach contents. She was literally gutted about 30 minutes after I shot her and then I drove home and rinsed her out well with the hose. I took her to the butcher but I'm still concerned she won't be safe to eat. I've never gut shot a deer before so I don't really know what to expect and don't want to get sick eating it. What's a guy to do?
