congrats on your first buck. I would think that something caused an injury to his head, hence the wound & infection. Meat should be okay. Just be sure not to touch any meat or equiptment w/that puss material, horn, skin etc.

Nice, congrats!

After getting it taken care of, I cut the skull so I can mount the horns. The single horn was suppose to be behind the front horn not sticking out the side. The tips of all the other horns are broke off, but just the tips. I would say he had been doing quite a bit of fighting/sparing and I think thats what broke off the back long horn. I can see where it is broke off atthe base at an angle. Still a weird set of horns. Thanks everyone for all your fastreply's so I knew what to do about the meat.
