eating deer that had a bad old wound??
what do you guys think about eating deer that had a bad existing wound? my buddy shot a deer this year that must have been shot earlier in the season. he said it smelled really bad. he said they didnt keep it because the infection could have spread through the rest of the deer.
i wasnt sure, couldnt you just cut out the bad leg?
also, i shot a buck this year that was healthy and such but had a would near its anus. it was like offset more and the tailbone was like exposed. bow shot? antler? no blood, size of a baseball, flesh colored with brown/black around the what i though was the tailbone. it was gross in that it wasnt closing up and looked wet. i got it home and just cut around it to take meat off.
would you have done the same?
thanks
