Don' t touch it and then contact any meat you want to eat! Nasty thing it is that gland.

The only reason I would ever touch it would be to collect some of the bucks urine also and " hit" another known dominant bucks areas to get him to show himself. When a dominant buck smells another bucks scents and thinks another buck has moved into/onto his turf, well there' s gonna be some fighting!

Of course they could be fun to put in a ziplock, open it a little bit and leave in a place or two I can think of. Hmmmmmmm? LOL
