Strange gooey substance in muscle??
I was processing a deer yesterday (hit by car), and came across a strange cream colored white gooey substance located inside some muscle tissue.
The red meat all around looked fine but a pocket, the size of a large grape, had this cream colored goo. It was a sticky type of liquid like what you'd expect from a kids nose snot. Very uniform in texture, color and consistency.. No detectable odor. It wasn't quite white, but not tan either.. more like an off-white cream color.
The location was in the shoulder area but I'm not sure exactly where as I was hacking stuff off quickly for grinding.
Any suggestions?
