buck vs. buck
i seen two bucks this year that had antler wounds so bad the question of was the meat safe to eat asked. One of them a six pointer was killed by my inlaws it had three bad horn holes that were infected ,it had a gash in it's neck and the shoulder,he gave it to a guy in their club ,he ate the back straps and hams ,he said nothing was wrong with it. The other buck i killed, it had two small holes in the side that torn the intestines. It looked like the wounds were a few days old but wasn't infected yet but it sure was hard to gut. I just wonder how many bucks die from fighting wounds each year.
